Oxo Candela Glow, Set of 8

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A pretty and safe way to enjoy the inviting ambiance of candlelight, OXO's Candela series substitutes clean, bright LED illumination for traditional wax and wicks. This set of eight tabletop Glow lights features translucent white holders in a gently flared cylindrical shape with lights set low on the inside. When lit, which simply requires lifting the holders off the included charger, each candle emits a soft, consistent glow that replicates firelight and "burns" for up to eight hours. Unlike traditional candles, however, these do not get hot, won't extinguish when exposed to drafts or breezes, and produce no smoke or soot. Plus, LED lights never need to be changed, so it's effortless to keep these running for years. To recharge, simply set the lights back on the charger and plug the set into any standard outlet. The lights may be used indoors or out, and the charger has a convenient carrying handle for easy transport. --Kara Karll

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 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

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, good customer support, poor product, September 21, 2009

We bought these Oxo Candela Glow sets for our kids' rooms.

The concept is great: a soft light that is easy to move around a room, stays lit all night, and is rechargeable saving you $ on batteries. We loved these at first exactly for those reasons but quickly became disappointed in the product.

First the pros:

- Rechargable batteries *should* make it cost effective in the long run

- Soft warm yellow glow that illuminates a small area very similar to a candle

- Does not heat up

- The company provides excellent customer support

Cons:

- The rechargable batteries do not hold a charge for very long. 50% of the batteries in our products held a charge for about 2 hours after about 1 months worth of use only at night. We followed the product instructions to the letter.

- Replacement batteries are apparently failing now as well after about 2 months worth of use since about 75% of the products don't hold a charge for more than 2 hours now.

We contacted the makers of Oxo Candela Glow Lights who were very polite and sent us replacement batteries at no cost and with no argument after the first battery failures. While I really appreciate good customer service it just can't make up for a poor product because sadly within another couple months we have more lights not holding a charge for very long. I may call the manufacturer again for replacement batteries but its aggravating to have to do it and I doubt they will send us replacement batteries indefinitely.

I would not recommend this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed in the Oxo version, September 27, 2008

I had two sets of these from Vessel and LOVED them, but when I recently 'upgraded' to the newer model due to problems with one set, I found that the color of the light is terrible! Kind of like a bad greenish fluorescent - not what I want to light my dinner by. On top of this, the candle housing itself is noticeably cheaper and flimsier, and overall the candle is lighter-weight. I want my old ones! I wish I could get the old base fixed/replaced - that was evidently the issue with my original set. :(
