Twelve small electric votives you can scatter through a room

Each light is 2.9 cm across and 3.6 cm tall, the size of a standard votive, and holds an LED that imitates a moving flame. Twelve come in the set, which is enough for a dinner table and a shelf at the same time. Pick warm white, plain white or yellow depending on how warm you want the room to read.

Why choose these votives?

A dozen loose lights let you spread the glow instead of relying on one lamp. They sit flat on wood, glass or tile and can go inside lanterns and holders you already own. Nothing gets hot, so a shelf full of books is a fine place for one.

Twelve in the box: enough to run down a table, line a windowsill or fill a set of glass holders at once.
Three light colors: warm white, cool white and yellow, so the set matches the rest of your lighting.
About 60 hours each: the built-in cell runs through many evenings before it needs attention.
Leave them burning: walk away from the table or go to bed without checking anything.
Standard votive footprint: 2.9 x 3.6 cm drops into most lanterns, jars and candle holders.

Batteries sit inside the housing, so there is nothing to plug in.

The flame effect works best in a dim room, where the flicker reads as movement rather than as a blinking light. Grouped in threes on a plate or a tray they give the same pooled glow as real votives. Because the plastic housing stays cool, you can also use them in a bathroom or a child's room without a second thought.
