Glimmering Luminary Candles Add Ambiance

By Kathleen Ward


Creative lighting is key factor when it comes to decorating for certain events such as weddings, parties, holidays, tribute ceremonies, romantic evenings, or just to add a different feel to the room. The brightness and the steadiness of the light depends greatly on the choice of the illumination source. Luminary candles can be a wonderful way to create ambiance for any kind of occasion.

A large selection of casings are available for these products. Vellum and paper bags, plastic tubes, beveled glass cups, mason jars, and hollowed cylinders of wax are among the popular choices, though there are so many more. Depending on the type and style of the chosen holder, the entire atmosphere of an event, space or room can be altered.

This specific type of lighting source brings a particular type of energy to an occasion as the illumination is a unique blend of both bright and soothing. A single product might be used to make one event an exciting and fun gala, while creating a romantic, reflective or subdued feeling for another. There are designs and styles to fit all moods and safety needs.

Tealights are a traditional form of this product, emitting a traditional flickering light which usually glows for a few hours. They are typically housed and rounded tin containers measuring approximately 2" in diameter and being 1/2" deep. This style requires supervised use because they produce an actual wax lit flame that although very low, can still pose a risk to safety should its encasement be knocked over or debris land inside of it.

When a stronger, longer lasting natural light is desired, a liquid fueled option may be the better solution. These products consist of a wick that is saturated by an oil held inside a small glass container topped by a metal lid that prevents spillage. They are available in a selection of sizes that are designed to burn anywhere from one hour to a full 24.

Certain precautionary measures must always taken when it comes of using this particular style of products. They should not be left without supervision as they are prone to fire risk if sand, or other flame retardant substance, is not used to prevent it from being knocked over. Because the source is live burning, it should be blocked from wind sources and flammable debris.

To avoid the risks of fire, an alternative flameless variety is also available which has the same flicker and brightness as natural lights. These are typically round discs with an LED bulb at the top which may be set to emit the illusion of a pulsing flame or a steady burn. They are available in both battery powered and electrical varieties and have extended life spans.

The combination of lighting source and creative decorative casings, allows one to give a unique feel to practically any occasion in a way that suits an individual's particular needs. This warm illumination can ignite the same feelings of comfort or happiness one feels when sitting in front of the fireplace or hanging out around a fire pit. It is a wonderful way to generate the perfect ambiance to help make the event a success.
