Add Ambiance With Luminary Candles

By Kathleen Ward


Whether decorating for a holiday, hosting an outdoor party, creating a romantic wedding setting, paying tribute, or just wanting to spice up a room, creative lighting is important for setting the mood. The type of illumination used will have an impact on how bright, how long and how steady the light is. Luminary candles are a great way to add ambiance to any occasion.

To get the desired effect, these products are set inside variety of casings. Among the more common choices are hollowed wax cylinders, beveled glass, vellum or paper bags, mason jars, and plastic tubes, all in a multitude of styles. The whole atmosphere of a room, event or space can be altered simply depending on the design of the object being lit.

Using this specific light source just lends a very special type of energy to the occasion, with the illumination being a unique combination of bright and soothing. The same product can make one event feel fun and exciting, while making another subdued, romantic or reflective. These products are available in several different styles to suit a variety of needs and safety concerns.

Tealights are a traditional form of this product, emitting a traditional flickering light which usually glows for a few hours. They are typically housed and rounded tin containers measuring approximately 2" in diameter and being 1/2" deep. This style requires supervised use because they produce an actual wax lit flame that although very low, can still pose a risk to safety should its encasement be knocked over or debris land inside of it.

A liquid fuel is a good source when a brighter and more durable, yet still natural, light is desired. These products are made up of wick that extends from the metal lid of a glass container filled with some type of oil which saturates the cloth. These are available in many sizes with the capability of lasting no more than an hour to excess of twenty-four and ready for use practically anywhere.

Certain precautions should always be observed when using these options. They should never be left unattended as they are a potential fire hazard should the item in which they are encased be tipped over, which is why sand is highly recommended to weigh the item down. The open flame needs to be protected from wind gusts and kept away from close contact with flammable substances.

An available alternative is the flameless variety that offers the same brightness and flicker but without the risk of causing fire. These are typically round discs topped by an LED bulb that can be set to give off the natural looking pulse, or to emit a steady burn. They may be either battery powered or electrical and last much longer than all other styles.

Whatever option is best suited for an individual's needs, the different styles of this lighting source and the endless choices in casings can lend a truly unique air to any event. The warm glow stimulates that special feeling one tends to get when basking in the flickering light of a fireplace or open fire pit. Setting the right ambiance is a huge part of an occasion's success and these items are a wonderful way to create the desired effect.
