These rechargeable lights are popular because they’re easy to use, safe and you don’t have to worry about leaving them unattended.

They come in sets of four, six and eight, are easy to hold and function like a candle, only they require no matches and there is no hot wax or open flame to worry about if they tip over.

Nice in the summer on a patio or at a evening picnic by the lake, they could be used in the winter too, through we doubt they are waterproof.

Cait thinks they would be romantic in a blackout - which likely will happen given the amazing number of thunderstorms we’re having this summer.

Eds. Note: We’ve provided a link to where you can buy these but shop around on the Internet and check out sales in catalogs because there are a number of similar lamps available these days.
