Floating candles in the koi pond

[GBBUDD]

Thank @lori.walker but the cell phone just captures the idea it falls flat on what it really looks like

Very thoughtful! I've always thrown around the idea of getting those fake floating lotus flower lights to throw in the pond for parties, but those real candles look like the only way to go for a nice romantic setting!

We just purchased 6 of the electric pond candles just to see what they were like. The absence of wax is appealing as they can make a mess.
The verdict is they are not all that bad, while they both float around the pond that's where the similarities stop. While the candles have the flame reflecting off the water . The electric have a recessed flame sorta speak. but they do flicker which in turn illuminates the entire base of them. So they have their own appeal. PLUS THERE' S NO WAX SPILLING ALL OVER THE PLACE. We had about 25 candles all over the pond but with the electric a dozen is probably all we would go for.
Nice thing about the electric they run off a watch battery and not aaa. Place them in the water and they turn on by two probes making contact with the water. However they take for ever to shut off once out of the water. verdict for a everyday night probably the electric . For company they get the candles

With the candles we have already burned up two boxes of 36 . but with a online purchase of a roll of wick i drill out the old wick. place a new already waxed wick in the depression from the old and melt down one or two candles and pour in the wax and wala 35 new candles for about 15 minutes work.

Good job at making new ones. I have a bunch of bees wax need to melt it down and make some more.

I just picked up two packages of the electric ones for my daughter's 1st birthday this weekend. Hoping to grab a nice picture

Ended up buying LOGUIDE floating lotus lights off Amazon. They’re battery powered. They look good for the price
