Birch Bark Candles – How to Get a Good Value

Do you like the look of tree branch candles, but don’t want to hassle with the potential fire hazard? You’ll probably love these realistic flickering LED birch bark candles that run on batteries.

Why You’ll Love Birch Bark Flameless Candles:

You don’t have to worry about hot flames, melting wax or sooty smoke either. In fact, you can operate these flameless candles with a remote control. Plus, they come with a handy timer function as well.

Therefore, you can set up your lights on a bookshelf, a bedside table or on a windowsill. You don’t have to worry about putting the flame out.

Furthermore, the remote control allows you to control the brightness of the light. Plus you can set the flame to flicker or not.

Birch bark candles make festive holiday centerpieces, plus they look great on a fireplace mantel. However, if you like rustic, woodsy home decor, these candles will fit in well year-round.

Are LED Birch Candles a Good Value?

The LED bulbs use very little energy, and with rechargeable batteries (see below), you can save a bunch of money. And with their easy, automated operation, you may never go back to traditional candles again!

Compared to a Luminara birch bark flameless candle, this set is a steal. In fact, you can get 5 of these birch tree candles for less than what you’d pay for 1 Luminara. (or 5 for less than half the price of 1 Pottery Barn candle.)

Not to mention, the Luminara candles don’t emit as nice of a glow because the LED bulb sits higher up. Consequently, the candle doesn’t look as realistic as the cheaper version.

Note: Although this is a flameless candle, the exterior structure is made with wax. Therefore, it can melt if placed near a heat source or left in direct sunlight.

Note: To extend the battery life, minimize the use of the timer function. Of course, if you use rechargeable batteries, this may not matter to you.

I use high-capacity rechargeable batteries because they last longer. In addition, an 8+ battery charger will ensure that you always have fully-charged batteries on hand when you need them.

Want Taller Birch Pillar Candles?

If you prefer taller, narrower branch-like wood candles, you may like these flameless pillar candles. This value pack includes 9 candles in varying heights and 2 remotes. Each measure 2.2″ in diameter.

• 4″ Pillars (2)
• 5″ Pillars (2)
• 6″ Pillars (2)

Just like the faux birch bark wrapped candles above, these have flickering LED bulbs and use AA batteries. They look like real candles, yet they are kid-friendly, mess-free and economical.

Note: By the way, if you want to elevate your candles for a more elegant look, you may want to try using a candelabra. This black iron candle stand fits 9 candles and makes your candles appear taller too. =)

Want Birch Scented Candles? Try This:

LED candles offer several advantages, however, they don’t have a fragrant scent. All is not lost, though. I suggest using Birch Essential Oil with a diffuser, which will end up producing more birch wood aroma than a candle anyway.

Just like flameless candles, you can get economical diffusers that are safe and conveniently operate on a timer. They also work well at releasing lots of ongoing fragrance. In fact, you can get a diffuser with a natural wood grain look that will add to your home’s woodsy decor.
