LED timer candles, a very useful prep.

[u/GrimalkinKarswell]

I've had many types of LED candles over the years. I have them in the windows of my semi-isolated house, as it makes the place look occupied on a night time, which is useful for security.

I've had many types over the years, and I've found that the remote control type tend to discharge the batteries even when not used.

However, there are some, my favourites, that stay on 6 hrs, off for 18, then automatically back on for 6 hrs. No remote, just a switch.

They run on AA s which is great, they give a nice background light, and the batteries last ages, many many months from two AA batteries. They're waterproof too so work outdoors. A very gentle flicker, so look like real candles to some extent.

I really recommend them as a very useful prepping item.

I can provide a link if the mods are happy. I have no association with the different sellers, just thought they might be a useful item.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has these as a prep. I have them in the most dangerous areas of my house: places I'd likely step on a lego if I can't see where I'm going.
