It is quite nice to see a heap of cool "magic" items surfacing at this time of the year and seeing them retailing for affordable prices is even better; just take a good look around and you could turn your home into a truly fantastic place, filled with amazing gadgets to add a magic touch to the winter holidays. It's with big pleasure that we can introduce to you one awesome lighting gadget that will delight you, your family and friends alike: the LED Blow On-Off Candles.

 

While a lot of lighting gadgets are turning to the technology side as far as design is concerned, we're very glad that there still are some pushing in the traditional direction – candles instead of lasers, mild colors instead of ultra-bright chromatic sharpness and the list could go on forever.

 

The LED Blow On-Off Candles are far more convenient than the traditional ones from many points of view. First of all, it's the absence of any open flame, hence the infinitely safer operation; second comes the absence of smoke, which is a plus as well. The fact that you can get two different colors from the same candle is something that common candles can't even dream of: all it takes is a flick of the switch and you'll instantly hop from the eerie blue light to a warm and natural yellow one, to suit your mood and necessities.

 

You get both blue and yellow light from a single candle at the flick of the switch.

While built from solid wax, there is no way to tell that they're not the real deal from a distance. Even when you get really close, the texture of the wax and the carefully-engineered flicker of the LED lamp will create a very strong feeling of authenticity. And said wax will not drip around ruining clothes or other things in its way.

 

The LED Blow On-Off Candles come in either 3" or 4" diameter with heights of 4" or 6"; the smaller version runs on button-cells (one set included and a spare one for free) while the larger model is powered by 3 AAA batteries ensuring around 300 hours of "burning." Unlike other gadgets – read candles that can be "turned off" by blowing upon them – the LED Blow On-Off Candles can be turned both on and off! These fantasy lights can be yours for prices starting at $11.99, which is small dough for magic objects.
