Each plastic candle has an LED flame, measures 0.5\" x 6\" (1.5 x 15.5 cm), and comes with 1 m of clear fishing wire; requires 11 AAA batteries (not included, two per candle and one for the wand) and hooks (not included). User reviews report short battery life, possible failure after about a month, and paint damage from adhesive hooks, so consider these factors for installation.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/decor/candles-ambient-lighting/floating-led-candles-and-wand-set-of-10-halloween-collection--22038-1262003?colourId=0","brand":"Simons Maison","condition":"new","product_category":"decor > candles ambient lighting","material":"Plastic, LED lights","dimensions":"0.5x0.5x6 in","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/22038/1262003/11/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":["https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/22038/1262003/11/A2_2.jpg","https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/22038/1262003/11/A3_2.jpg"],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702645103-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/22038/1262003/11/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Floating LED candles and wand Set of 10 Halloween Collection product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Lifestyle tabletop scene with warm directional lighting, featuring a dark background, a wooden table with a light cloth, stacked terracotta-colored plates, a wine glass, a woven decorative pumpkin, a vase with orange-red berries, and pomegranate halves in a bowl.","observations":[{"key":"Tabletop surface","kind":"feature","value":"Dark wooden table visible along the bottom edge with a light-colored draped cloth covering most of the surface.","regions":[{"x":0,"y":0.68,"width":1,"height":0.32,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Stacked plates","kind":"feature","value":"A small stack of nested shallow plates or bowls in a warm terracotta or brown-orange color located on the left side of the table.","regions":[{"x":0.06,"y":0.72,"width":0.2,"height":0.13,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Wine glass","kind":"feature","value":"A clear stemmed wine glass with dark liquid sits near center-left on the cloth;

pattern across the ceiling — rather than in straight lines — mimics the random drift of Hogwarts candles and optically hides the fishing wire anchors, reinforcing the illusion that they hang without

candles hovering beyond the room — a placement the manufacturer explicitly recommends.","head_height_rule":"A consistent caution across DIY tutorials is to keep the lowest candle well above head height — roughly at doorframe level or higher — to avoid guests walking into them and instantly breaking the floating spell.","chandelier_integration":"Grouping several candles around a central

than an add-on.","vertical_height_variation":"Since each candle is a uniform 6-inch taper, the illusion of unsupported floating relies entirely on varying the suspension heights using the pre-attached

this set compares to other floating candle kits","entries":{"dual_aaa_battery_design":"Each candle takes two AAA batteries instead of the single AAA used by the majority of floating taper competitors, pushing the total battery count for a 10-piece setup to 21 cells and slightly increasing the pendant weight—a potential factor for hanging from delicate ceilings or when factoring in long-term battery replacement costs.","simons_maison_retail_pricing":"At 59 CAD, the set costs considerably more than near-identical 10-piece wand-controlled LED candles found online for around CHF 25, positioning the purchase as much about buying from a trusted Canadian department store with in-store support and a straightforward return policy as about the candle hardware itself.","no_mounting_hardware_included":"The kit ships without adhesive hooks or glue dots, unlike some rival bundles that include these for a plug-and-play ceiling setup, so buyers must separately source and budget for mounting solutions—a benefit for those who already own a preferred removable hook system but an extra step for first-time decorators.","1_metre_pre_threaded_fishing_wire":"Each candle arrives with 1 metre of fishing line already attached through the flame tip, bypassing the tedious threading task that many user reviews cite as a frustration with other kits, and saving real setup time despite the shorter length compared to some 4.9-foot competitors that require manual stringing.","plastic_vs_wax_coated_construction":"The candles are fully plastic, unlike the World Market set's wax-coated LED tapers, making them resistant to dents and scratches during setup and storage—a tradeoff that prioritizes durability in active or pet-friendly households over the warm, realistic feel of wax."},"entry_quotes":{"dual_aaa_battery_design":[{"url":"https://modesens.com/product/simons-maison-floating-led-candles-and-wand-set-of-10-white-135301596/","quote":"two batteries per candle

durability of plastic LED candles","entries":{"fishing_line_inspection":"The 1-meter clear monofilament lines each candle hangs from are lightweight and nearly invisible, but monofilament degrades with UV light and sustained tension; checking for brittleness or clouding at the knots before each season's setup and replacing any suspect line with fresh 4–6 lb test fishing line keeps the floating illusion reliable and accident-free.","off_season_plastic_preservation":"Because LED candles produce virtually no heat, the white plastic shell won't warp or discolor from internal thermal stress; the real enemies are attic heat and UV during off-season storage — a cool, dark closet between Octobers keeps the thermoplastic from yellowing or becoming brittle, preserving the set's fresh look for multiple Halloweens.","parasitic_battery_drain_prevention":"Even when turned off, many basic LED candle circuits draw a tiny standby current that can deplete AAA cells in days; pulling the batteries after each evening's event or at the end of the season eliminates the parasitic drain and prevents the deep discharge that leaves batteries too weak to light the candles the next time you need them.","battery_contact_revival_with_vinegar":"When the candles stop working after storage, the culprit is almost always a layer of alkaline residue on the battery springs; applying a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice with a cotton swab neutralizes the alkaline discharge and clears the white crust, routinely returning contact enough to power the LED."},"entry_quotes":{"off_season_plastic_preservation":[{"url":"https://www.xinghaijun.com/blog/how-long-do-plastic-led-candles-typically-last859","quote":"The low heat generation also prevents
