LED candles are battery-operated lights designed to mimic the appearance of traditional wax candles. They use light-emitting diodes to create a warm glow, providing a safe alternative to real flames. This makes them ideal for homes with children or pets, as they eliminate the risk of fire. These candles come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, often featuring realistic flickering effects. Many LED candles also include timers or remote controls for added convenience. They can be used for decoration, ambiance, or special occasions without the mess or hazards associated with burning wax.
