Take advantage of warm summer nights by entertaining friends on your deck, garden, or patio. Once you've decided to host an event, outdoor lighting should be one of your main considerations.
Ideally your lighting solution should provide a soft, flattering light that allows your guests to find their way around, eat, and converse.
Candles are often a first choice for that flickering, cozy glow. However, candles can also have drawbacks. Live flames can be a fire hazard.
An alternative that eliminates this issues is to create centerpieces and circumference lighting with LED Candles.
They have a similar lively flicker but with less worry and more resilience to windy conditions. You can build a whole centerpiece around them without the flammability concerns normally present.
This particular example emits 100 hours of burn time on 2 AA batteries.
Gather them in a group on a table, varying their heights or arranging greenery around them. Line your railings, walkways or stairs with LED candles for a beautifully practical solution to outdoor entertaining.
