Soy Candles

The definition of a flameless candle usually refers to a battery powered candle.  It does not have a wick or plastic appearing flame.  They produce a luminescent glow, similar to that of a votive, tea lights or tapers.  They come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  There is no fire hazard when using a battery powered candle.  The look of a flameless candle is more life-like when you purchase one that resembles a votive, tea light or round oblong candle.  These kinds of wax candles have the flame and wick sinking below the top of the candle, thus emitting a glow when lit.  With a taper wax candle the wick and flame are more visible.  Therefore using a flameless taper is not as effective in fooling people.  You can even find a battery powered candle that emits a fragrance.  You can use these candles in the same way you would use a soy votive candle, in a pretty glass holder, in a Halloween pumpkin, in an unused fireplace, the bathroom, any room in your home or office.  When your flameless candle goes out, simply replace the batteries.

Soy tart melts are another type of flameless candle.  They are small chunks of soy wax that have no wick.  Their intended purpose is to place them into an electric tart warmer and allow them to melt.  Their fragrance is emitted as they are melting.  You have no flame to worry about, no dripping wax to clean up, no batteries to replace.  You can even mix different scented melts in your warmer, to create your own special scent.  Another excellent use of melts are to break apart the chunks and place one in each closet or dresser drawer to keep those garments smelling fresh.
