3. LIGHTS4FUN LED 3 WICK WINTER CANALE
Real wax and fruit used to make this realistic flameless candle

It looks very real, with a 12 cm diameter candle and three wicks. The TruGlow flameless candles are encapsulated with real dried fruits in a real paraffin wax design. This makes them look exactly like authentic candles with real flames.

This is our favorite flameless candle, and it even smells faintly like a winter fragrance candle. Even the light flickering gives off a feeling of «just lit», which mimics the natural glow and movement real flames. Although it is difficult to see in photos, the tip of each faux candlewick has been slightly shaded to evoke the appearance of real flames. We adore these little details.

This festive winter candle can be used to create a cozy atmosphere on a coffee table or as a centerpiece at a table. For a 6-hour-long illumination, simply add three AA batteries to the timer and turn it on.

4. HOMEMORY FLAMELESS VOTE CANDLES
Best budget flameless candle

Homemory Flameless Votive candles are great for those with a limited budget or who need several flameless candles to light up an event, such as a wedding or large party. They are available in packs of 24 and cost less than $20. They can be used in tealight holders or lanterns.

These candles are made of durable plastic so they won’t crack if you store them in a box between events. Although the plastic design isn’t the most luxurious, we like that each candle has a flickering flame to evoke the smell of a real candle. To make it look like it has been lit before, the flame of each candle is a few inches inward.

Every candle has a button at the bottom that turns it on/off (no remote control). They are also all the same size, measuring 1.48 inches in diameter by 1.6 inches high. These flameless candles require CR2032 batteries to run. They should last around 150 hours.

5. OSHINE FLAMELESS CANALS
Remote control for the best flameless candle

Our pick for the best flameless candles with remote control is the OSHINE flameless candles. The 10-button remote can be used to control the candles in a variety of ways. You can turn them on or off, dim them, set a timer, and even create ambiance.

They look authentic in their appearance. They have a dancing flame that flickers when they are turned on. The ivory color adds warmth and texture to your home. To add authenticity, they are made from real paraffin wax. However, this does not mean that you should leave them outside or in direct sunlight.

One candle is 4 inches tall, the next is 5 inches, and the last is 6 inches. They are all 3.15 inches in size. Two AA batteries are all that is required to light these flameless candles. These will keep the candle burning for over 300 hours.

6. WAYFAIR 3 Pieces GLASS LED FLAMELESS Candle Set
Best glass votive flameless candles

We were pleasantly surprised by the Wayfair set of reflective glass votives. The look was much more striking than we expected. You can use the remote control to turn the candles on or off simultaneously from any side of the room. If you don’t want to light them all at once, you can turn each one off with a switch.

You can set the remote to start a timer for two, four, six or eight hours. The timer automatically turns off after the time is up. You can also dim or turn the lights up or down, choose static light or flicker candlelight.

These candles are available in three heights: 15cm, 12.5cm and 10cm. They can be used to provide a luminous glow on a mantlepiece, or as a cluster at the centre of a coffee table. You will need two batteries for each candle, so make sure you have enough.

The only problem is the amber flames don’t really replicate a candle flame. Instead, the intensity feels more like a real fire. It’s better to have too much flame-likeness than too bright and white, which is why it seems completely unrealistic.

7. DANIP FLAMELESS CANDLE INCLUDING STRING LIGHTS
Best flameless candle to use for weddings

If you are in the middle of planning your big day, DANIP Flameless Candles will be a great choice. These candles are an appropriate ivory color, wrapped in silver string lights (12-16 LED fairy lights), to enhance your table decorations.
