A post on battery-powered cordless window candles may be early. (Halloween will be coming up at the date of this review.) The days are beginning to get darker due to backorders and delivery delays due to the endless consequences of COVID in addition to the fact that these candles are sold out each year- I’ve decided to give in and do this review to give customers a leg up in this year’s holiday cheer!
I love that most people leave the candles lit throughout the winter, even when the holiday season is past. It could be because it’s dark by 4:00 in the US and frigidly cold throughout the day. We all suffer from some form of winter-related affective disorder. The downright Handsome Husband doesn’t have a view of the sun from November through April, except for weekends, so lighting cheerful candles on the windows can make the journey more enjoyable.
A History Behind Candles in the Windows at Christmas
Candles in windows was an Irish tradition sometime between 1691 and 1778, as an alternative to laws of the British Government’s Penal Laws (a series of rules imposed to persuade the Catholic Irish to accept the Protestant-Catholic Church of Ireland).
Priests were essentially outlaws and had to hide, and they would celebrate Mass in private. As per this source:
At Christmas, Irish Catholics would light a candle outside the window and lock the door so priests could safely walk into their homes and celebrate Mass. If the British asked the Irish about the candle lighting, they replied that they did it to greet Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus at Christmas.
There is a possibility that around 4.5 million Irish came to America from 1820 until 1930. Between 1820 and 1860, the Irish comprised more than one-third of the total immigrants into the United States. It makes an incredible sense that lighting candles on windows, however, with an entirely different purpose — found its way into our wintertime night-time traditions, especially dark nights.
In time, candles placed inside the windows came to signify safety and beacons that showed tired travelers the path to safety. In the conflict in the 19th century, families lit candles every night to ensure that the missing person was able to return to safety. Today, they are lighting my husband’s back home after a dark 7 miles drive.
After I grew tired of Cords & C ****y Candles
The family had always kept candles inside our glass windows until some time ago when I got fed up and had no candles.
I’d gone through around 2.5-3 assortments of candles during our (then) five years of living in our home up to this time. At first, I purchased the cheap ones which operated on batteries with a light sensor. But these candles needed to be more adequate in terms of brightness, and even after that, I would always buy new bulbs. That’s why I spent the money.
Then I got them that had cords to have more power. However, it was not just that I had a million horrible cables all over. However, they also knocked the poor items off balance, and the candles required tape down. However, some of them turned upside down (sometimes because of things 1, 2, and 2) and smashed bulbs. Further money drained from the pipes. But there are no candles that work.
It’s estimated that I’ve spent around $150 on candles that did not work out because I tried to cut costs. It’s a pound-wise penny. Does anyone else experience this?
I aid homeowners in building Forever Homes, and I encourage them to stop spending cash on one-off or cheaper products that don’t perform and instead put their money into interiors of the highest quality, style, and comfort that last. It was time to implement my guidance. The windows with candles are crucial to me, and it was time to put money into them.
I conducted a lot of studies and came across these. They had excellent reviews.

The thing I like about these candles is:
- They’re not gaudy.
- They’re hefty that they carry, which means they won’t be constantly flipping.
- They SLICK!
- The windows come in two adjustable sizes to keep your window mullions out.
- No cords.
- Available in five different finishes.
- They’re running an alarm clock.
As advertised
I’ve tested a few similar items but finally discovered the one that is as claimed. I’m delighted with the light (it might even be brighter than the plug-ins I’ve been using). Although I’ve only been able to last three weeks with these rechargeable batteries, the 30-day claim could be pretty valid. The directionally adjustable brightness is an excellent idea. I’ve only had one (out of nine) suction cups break off in very frigid weather. However, I’ve changed all the candles to be placed on the upper part of the window to ensure that the suction cup does not hold the vertical surface instead of supporting its entire weight. I’ve had zero problems since. Highly recommend this if you do not have any plugs in the windows!
LED Window Candles
They look exactly how I expected them to appear at night when lit. The light outside is bright enough to be visible from about a quarter mile. The inside light is not noticeable. Connecting them to windows and lighting them could be difficult as the timer begins once the light bulb is put in. Twelve bulbs were needed to put in, which meant I had to accept that they would not switch on and off simultaneously. It took some time for each suction cup to be in place on the windows. However, I got them to all stay in place with a bit of moisture upon them before putting them on the windows. Each candle needs 3 AAA batteries. Overall, I’m happy with my candles and will consider purchasing them more.
Excellent product!
They’re apparent and bright in the city. They are the perfect dimensions! The size is perfect!
Ultra Brite LED Windows Candles
The best battery candle for windows. The candles are bright outside but soft on the inside. I love these and would highly recommend them!
The best alternative (by) for windows lights
They are among the top and brightest bulbs I’ve found through three decades of purchasing and tests. The dual LED bulb in one direction can be a significant game-changer. The only thing I have to complain about after purchasing the three times for our houses is that the suction cups are better than candles. Bathing the suction cup in hot water before placing can be beneficial.
Super Bright Window Candles
The best window candle! It was precisely what I was searching for. These candles are vibrant and bright. The timer also works flawlessly. They are very pretty. They are highly recommended.
Ultra bright candles
My wife is a massive fan of welcoming candles inside our windows, but with a sill, this was possible. When we discovered the 612 Vermont Ultra Bright candles, they looked great in our home’s indoor and outdoor areas. My wife is thrilled about these beautiful candles.
Suction cups don’t work
Four suction cups for the possibility that they wouldn’t stick to the glass, but the suction cups are not practical. I’m incredibly disappointed with this item considering the price.
There have been many compliments regarding how lovely the candles look.
I purchased eight lights the first time, followed by eight more after I saw what the lights looked like. Suction cups make it so easy to set them up, and the timer stops me from turning them off and on every evening! Additionally, I love that it is possible to position the lights with LEDs so that they’re pointed out to ensure they are visible from the outside and create a soft, warm glow in the interior.
