Uyuni Single Wick Pillar

The Uyuni Single Wick Pillar in 7.8 x 10.1cm is the smallest of the standard flameless pillars, in Nordic White. It takes two C batteries and runs for about 1000 hours. The 3D flame flickers like the real thing without any burning.

Short pillars are for grouping. On its own at 10.1cm high this is a modest object, but three or five together at staggered heights is where the range does its best work, and this is the size that fills in the low end of that arrangement.

It suits the places a tall candle would be awkward: a bathroom shelf, a bedside, a windowsill, the middle of a dining table where you still want to see the person opposite. The dimmer, if you add the remote, matters more in a small candle than a large one, because a bright LED in a compact wax body can read harder than candlelight should. Turned down, it settles into something much closer to a real flame at dusk.
