Short days and long evenings are when candlelight matters most. Luminara candles give you the soft flicker of a real flame on the mantel, the dinner table, and the windowsill, with no smoke, soot, or dripping wax to clean up afterward.
Below are the Luminara candles our shoppers come back to most, grouped by season. Start with harvest pinecones and birch bark in October, add snowy trees and glittered accents for the holidays, and keep a few classic pillars and tapers glowing all the way to spring. You can browse every style in our Luminara candles collection.
What Makes Luminara Candles Different
Luminara candles are flameless LED candles designed to look like the real thing. Here is what sets them apart:
- Moving flame: Luminara's flickering LED flame imitates the natural movement of candlelight instead of a static bulb.
- Real wax exteriors: Many styles, including the 3-flame and slim pillars, are made from a blend of 60% wax, 30% plastic, and 10% electronic components for an authentic look and feel.
- No open flame: No smoke, soot, or dripping wax, which matters around garlands, table linens, kids, and pets.
- Battery operated: No cords, so you can place them anywhere you want a little glow.

Yes. The 2-Pack 9.75" Luminara Taper Candles are designed to fit standard candlesticks and candelabras, so you can use the holders you already own.
Are Luminara candles safe near holiday decorations?
Because there is no open flame, Luminara candles do not produce smoke, soot, or dripping wax. That makes them a practical choice near garlands, table linens, Thanksgiving décor, and Christmas décor.
