How it rates
How we vetted it
Vetted from Luminara's product page and owner reviews (about 4.7 out of 5 from nearly 300 reviews on luminara.com), plus Costco's listing. We haven't used this set ourselves.
What works well
The flame is the trick. A small magnet moves a flame-shaped piece while an LED lights it, so it flickers and sways instead of blinking. The shells are real wax with a melted top edge, unscented, 3 inches wide in heights of 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 inches. The remote turns them on and off, and the timer runs them five hours on and 19 off, so they light up at the same time every evening.
Why we chose it
- Convincing moving flame
- Real wax shells
- Remote with daily timer
- Safe anywhere
In your room
Group the three at different heights on a dresser or in a fireplace, and set the timer so the room is already glowing when you walk in. They're the safe answer for anywhere a real flame shouldn't be.

Nothing but a real flame will do.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants candlelight without the worry: around a bath, near curtains, with pets or kids in the house, or simply on the nights you might fall asleep.
Where it fits in the room
Picture it in a Parisian Boudoir room.
The right piece lands better in a room that was planned for the two of you. Start from the Parisian Boudoir look in the Room Designer, set the light and the layout, and see the space come together around it.
