Cordless window candles

Has anyone bought any like this? If so, are you happy with them and where did you get them? How much? This model is from Brookstone. I found it on Amazon, 2 for $9.95. I need it for 12 windows!

I bought these from Christmas Central (also known as Merchant Overstock) last year. Mine go on the ledge. You also could try the Christmas Tree shop.

That's what we found with those that we bought too - looked OK from inside the room, but driving down the street you couldn't even tell they were on.

Re: Cordless window candles

I actually wasn't able to find ones that I really truly liked. We got a bunch of plug-in ones for the holidays last year, and DH rigged them up so they were on timers. The timers are pretty cheap if you stock up now...they were $4.95 at Walmart and you could fit two plugs into each.

Re: Cordless window candles

Are those cordless? I have those exact ones with a cord from Fortunoff. You have to turn them on and off which got annoying with so many windows!

i really wanted the cordless candles but after purchasing, found that they aren't very bright and they have a short battery life. don't prefer (hassle with all the cords) but i now use the sensor plug in ones.

That's also why I got plug in ones with a timer built in. B/w shutting them off everyday and dying batteries, I knew I would get disgusted quickly. I got them from Frontgate, and I think they are great!

Re: Cordless window candles

I don't have the cordless ones but I do have the ones that are on an internal 8 hour timer. They are wonderful! I use them year round & even have a batch that are 3 years old & used everyday...
