How to Use Candles Outdoors

Female Speaker: Fine Living Network SmartTips with Design Expert Susie Coelho.

Susie Coelho: Candles can add beauty and softness to any setting, but using them outdoors can be a problem until now.

Female Speaker: These candles won't blow out, drip wax or melt in the sun. How? They are battery operated. Electric candles come in all shapes and sizes such as tealights and pillars.

They also come in different materials such as raisin and silicone. Use them where they are a little more out of their way, such as in glass motifs or lanterns. For areas that are shielded from the sun, try mixing them with regular candles for an even more realistic look.

They are also perfect as holiday decorations. You can use them in luminaries or pumpkins.

Susie Coelho: Battery operated candles cost a little bit more than regular candles, but since they last longer they are easier to use and they are safer around kids. I think they're pretty bright idea.
