8/28/2019 (Permalink)
Candles are popular decorative home accents and lighting sources, but any open flame can increase the risk of a house fire. Find out about three ways to use candle alternatives to achieve the look you want while celebrating the holidays, serving dinner or considering new lighting solutions for your home in Viera, FL.
Walkway and Window Lighting
Flameless LED candles and interior and exterior lighting are ideal for accentuating windows or illuminating walkways around your home. Choose from battery-powered or solar-powered lighting solutions to achieve looks that might otherwise require open flames. LED lights are bright, efficient and much less likely to cause a fire than an unattended open flame on a windowsill with flammable blinds or curtains or in paper bags along the sidewalk or other paths.
Magical Lighting Effects
You’re probably familiar with string lighting from Christmas tree decorations, but did you know that these small, efficient lights are ideal candle alternatives for decorating inside and outside all year round. Add a special touch to bushes or trees for special events outdoors or use glow-in-the-dark decals or fairy lights to achieve decorative effects perfect for the bedroom of a child or teen.
Safely Spread Scents
There’s no need to sacrifice the scents you love for the sake of fire safety. If you’ve stocked up on your favorite fragrances in the form of wax candles with wicks, try a battery-powered or plug-in candle warmer to release the fragrance. Other home deodorization options include scented LED candles, reed diffusers and plug-in attachments.
From LED candles to string lighting and flameless scent diffusion methods, you can choose from a variety of candle alternatives. No matter how you have used candles to decorate in the past, you can find ways to achieve similar effects without the risk of starting a candle fire that calls for fire and smoke damage mitigation and restoration.
