Product Description

Think Candela in and around the house. On the bedside, at the BBQ, on the windowsill or on the patio, Candela is practical for everyday use but unique enough for special occasions. Portable and cordless, Candela lends a festive accent to parties and enhances the cozy atmosphere of a quiet evening at home. OXO Candela is innovative LED portable lighting that stays lit for eight hours, is cool to the touch, and provides soothing ambient light for a wide variety of settings from lighting a dinner party or bath, to a child's room or guest room. OXO Candela is an LED rechargeable light that takes what your love about candles and makes it better. Candela is brighter than a candle, won't blow out in the wind, automatically illuminates when lifted from the base and can left unattended. Candela illuminates automatically when removed from the patented charging system or if there is a loss of electricity. When placed on the base, it automatically recharges for the next use. Candela is a sustainable and hassle-free solution that ensures years of enjoyment without the inconvenience of frequent battery changes, the hunt for matches or mounds of messy wax. Pack includes 8 LED lights with rechargeable batteries and charging base

1.0 out of 5 stars Learn from my mistake - don't buy these!, December 20, 2009

I am writing this review right now because I am cleaning out my closet, found my box of 16 Vessel/OXO (some of each) Candela candles with 3 dead charger bases, all of which are now going in the trash. I probably spent $250 on all of the candle sets together. My money is down the drain, but if you read this, you may be able to save yours!

These lights look great and when you first buy them, you will love them and so will all your friends. However, after a few months to a year, the charger base will die. Without the base the lamps are useless. I have 3 sets of Candela lamps. The base has died on each. I did have one base replaced under warranty and purchased one other base as a replacement, but those bases died too. Vessel used to sell replacement bases, but the 4-candle base is now discontinued and they only offer a 2-candle base which is on backorder. OXO sells Candela as well, but does not sell any replacement bases. In my 3 sets, I have a total of 16 candles. So I would need 8 of the 2-candle bases, which would cost $80. Oh - and they don't send the power cords with the bases by the way, so it wouldn't even work to order the bases.

This product should be pulled from the market. Thank goodness for reviews so I can at least warn someone else. Read other reviews - this problem seems to be common.

These lights are nothing to what they seem online. They're made of cheap plastic and they're not made to look like a tea light in a base. It's just an ugly looking plastic jar with light beaming out of it. For $130 I expected a little more. Online it seems like the base is hollow and there's a tea light inside. Don't be fooled, it's a cilindrical plastic thing that shines. I'm returning mine and getting my money back.

I realize that these may not be as nice as candlelight but when I am home alone I can spread them between rooms and not worry about fire. They work well in colored hurricanes, not perhaps as nice as candlelight again, but truer in color than other LEDS that I have used before. I wish they flickered, but all in all I am satisfied.
