Flameless Candle Competitor Comparison

Flameless Candle Competitor Comparison

Not all flameless candles are created equal. They all create the look of candle light and they all save you large amounts of money over traditional candles and fuel cells, but that is where the similarities end. Some companies are introducing an array of features designed to sound attractive, but they aren't really worth sacrificing the battery life, durability and quality of the overall candle. Paying attention to the details will save you time, money and frustration. Below is a comparison chart of the category leaders looking at each of their state claims of their product. Just following the chart is our analysis of which features you should pay attention to when shopping and which ones are just marketing fluff.


Competitor Comparison

What's Important

These are the features that you will require on a daily basis and return value to your business.

Battery Technology

Battery Technology

Lithium Ion batteries sound great – that’s what cell phones use, right? But your cell phone doesn’t have the same battery life a year after you buy it. They charge quickly, but that damages the battery. What starts with a long battery life will deteriorate and you’ll be replacing them within a year. Our patented charging system and batteries burn longer than any other, which keeps your candle investment at a minimum.

Charging System

Charging System

Induction charging is a great buzzword, but the reality is that it means your candle sits loosely in a tray while charging. The result is a weak power connection during the charge and the risk of falling out of the tray and breaking. Not to mention you can't wall mount an induction charger. Our patented locking system provides the tightest, most secure connection of any candle charging system, maximizing the life the candle.

Durability

Durability

Restaurants and hospitality venues can be a tough environment for tabletop fixtures and decor. Things gets dropped, spilled on, handled aggressively and played with. You need to a candle that keeps working despite these conditions, not one that will fail after a few months of being exposed to them. Our Performance Series candles have been designed to take a punch (or even a bath) and keep on flickering.

Warranty

Warranty & Longevity

Each of our candles comes with an industry best 2-year warranty. Many customers report using our candles in tough commercial environments for 5-7 years with no issues. While you may not ever need our warranty, it is there for you. We stand behind our product in ways our competitors do not. Their warranties of one year or less can only result in increased replacement costs and time-consuming reordering.



What's Not Important

These features are all vanity as they sound good, but don’t have long-term value or real applicability.

 

Color Changing

Color Changing Lights

Switching your candle light between multiple colors sounds cool, but how often are you really going to use that feature, 3-4 days a year? Why base your decision on a key decor element that is used so infrequently, particularly when the candle quality is lacking? And once you lose the remote will be lost with it.

Theft Deterant

Theft Deterrent

For some reason candles are theft targets. But a theft deterrent system that sets off an alarm if the candle is picked up will be more of an annoyance for you than a deterrent for a thief. If your staff has to remove a candle from a table during a shift, do you really want it to turn bright red and start beeping in your dining room?

Connecting Charing Stations

Connecting Chargers

Outlets are a premium in most environments. Simple power strips can solve the problem. Candle systems allowing you to connect multiple charging bases together is not a good solution. When adding the 3rd or 4th trays, candles on those trays get a fraction of the power and won’t fully charge, deteriorating their battery and life.




Testimonials

We had been trying to find candles that lasted a full 12-hour shift and for more than 6 months before going dim and giving out completely. We were constantly sending candles back with poor customer response. The candles from The Amazing Flameless Candle stay bright for the entire day and we haven't had any issues. We have them throughout the spa and in all treatment rooms. And we have been very impressed with their outstanding customer service!

We used to work with another company, but always had problems with their candles. They wouldn't even stay lit for an entire shift. Making the switch to The Amazing Flameless Cnadles has been excellent. The quality far exceeds our previous product and they are easy people to do business with.

Red Door Spas started using these rechargeable candles in all of our spas in 2007. Each spa uses the candles 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and many of those original candles we purchased are still in service 8 years later and we have never had to replace a single charger. I would recommend this product for reliability and longevity.
