Light up your home for the Advent season with these battery operated candle tapers in the traditional Advent colors of purple and pink. The Advent candles are 10-3/4 inches high and fit most advent wreaths. Because they are battery operated, you can have the Advent tapers safely lit in the presence of children and animals and not worry about a burning hazard. Another nice benefit of the battery operated Advent candles is that you will avoid any wax mess or residue usually associated with candle burning. Many people have missed having candles in their home especially during the holidays because of the question of safety but these battery operated tapers allow you to safely and securely enjoy the appearance of candlelight without the worry of a child or animal being hurt by fire.
