Luminaries Lights Provide Glimmering Sparkle

By Diane Ellis


Decorating is one of the most effective ways to bring a certain type of flair to any party, holiday or event. The things that are chosen to embellish the walls, tables, yards and more are what set the mood and enhance the experience of all who behold it. Using luminaries lights to adorn a space can add a touch of magic and adventure.

To give a porch, entry or walkway a bright and inviting glow is the most common use for this kind of product. These are great for basking a party space in warm, inviting light and decorating holiday settings, tables and mantles. The ability to create versatile moods including reverent, festive, romantic, eerie and whimsical simply by changing casings and locations is part of the appeal.

Paper or vellum bags are the most frequently used casings for this purpose, and they may be plain, colored, or have some picture printed upon them. Some styles might have die cut designs on their surface or they could use silhouetted inserts that have the scenes punched into them for a deeper effect. Crafters have been creating these for years and now they can be purchased in retail.

Sand is typically used inside the items to weigh them down and keep them from being blown over by strong winds. This substance also helps control the risk of fire when the individual chooses to use natural flames to create the illumination. A variety of lighting options are accessible to meet a wide range of purposes, needs, preferences and convenience.

As mentioned, the traditional option for illuminating these products are candles, typically either votive or tealight size. They provide a natural looking flicker and warm ambient glow that is quite welcoming. When the bags feature a silhouetted or die cut design, the dancing flame creates a shadow like effect that can be most interesting.

An oil lamp type of lighting source can provide a somewhat brighter illumination. Generally, they are small jars that hold only a few ounces of fuel that is meant to burn for a particular amount of time, capped with a metal lid through which a saturated wick extends. Their flame tends to be stronger and higher and as a precaution, should not be left unsupervised.

LED units that run on batteries are a safer alternative to using open flame. A multitude of styles of this type of product are available such as round discs which contain many colored bulbs, boxes that may have several diodes within them, and those that actually resemble a tealight. Many of these pieces come with an option to either flicker as fire, or to create a steady burn.

LED illumination units offer even more versatility by offering the option to purchase a larger cubed, or rectangular unit that features many bulbs and runs on batteries. They tend to be a bit heavier in construction so they abolish the need to use sand to weigh the casing down. A fair number of these styles also come with the option of connecting multiple boxes together with cords that will switch them to a single electrical power source.
