Luminara?

Joe G — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 20:11:01 GMT

Hello, all. I've been eagerly anticipating the return of Luminara candles on QVC for the past several months, first for some new spring options, and now for the upcoming holiday season, but there hasn't been any recent appearances, nor has inventory been updated. I'm beginning to wonder if the partnership between them and QVC has quietly come to an end. I haven't seen any official announcement or recent blog topics,, so curious if anyone else has noticed their absence or heard of any updates. Thanks for any insights.

Have had more than one Luminara candle stop working in less than a year!
The won't stay lit and it's not the batteries. Timers stopped working on two. Too

expensive for that to happen. I've moved on to other brands.

I am looking forward to new Luminara as well. Hopefully we will see a TSV in the next few months.

QVC and the Luminara Website don't have the selections they did in the past. I remember when they also sold lanterns.

@Joe G they have their own website. Perhaps contact them.

I had that experience, too. Mine only lasted for 6 weeks.

I got them on sale at Amazon and bought them based on the recs here.

Too late for Amazon return, I posted a 1 star review. Luminara contacted me directly and offered to replace them if I agreed to allow them to delete my review. 🙃

I heard or read somewhere that the patent or "something" that Luminara had on the moving flame technology is now available to all. I realize I am saying it wrong but it was something to that effect. In any case, I was late to the show on Luminara but I like them and prefer the C or D battery option that QVC sells vs the AA offered in stores.

QVC seems to be featuring more and more of their own house brands. Would that be Home Reflections? Don't know if they're similar.

I have NEVER had any problems whatsoever with Luminara candles over the years and have many many of them setting around my home on timers. LOVE them! They have the most realistic flame and those so-called "flames" on QVC's in-house brand of candles and others are terrible. They do not look anything like flames. PLEASE QVC tell us Luminara will be back frequently!! (otherwise, others here that like them, sign up for their emails!)

To Etoile308, Home Reflections don't look like real candles at all.

@Joe G I recently purchased four Luminara candles at our local Boscovs. They had a nice selection and were recently on sale. I haven't seen them on QVC though for quite awhile. I have also seen Luminara candles at Hobby Lobby. I have a feeling the partnership with QVC might be coming to an end which is unfortunate....

@Joe G Janine Graff posted on her July 4th FB page that "Luminara has stalled on QVC. No new coming for the foreseeable future." I hope they get this straightened out, because I love the Luminara offerings on QVC, and they are cheaper than the Luminara website.

I read that and wondered if that was her way of politely saying they're done here.

I love my Luminara candles, but I already have all I need.

I only have the ones that use "C" and "D" batteries. I turn them on a timer setting on November 1st and the stay lit on their timer, on that battery life, all the way through the end of April. In fact, the one Luminara lantern I have is still turning on every evening since last November.

No complaints with them at all.

We use only flameless candles in our house (a dozen cats live with us) and 90% of those are Luminara, I've yet to find anything comparable. I love the lavender embedded and am really wanting a set of the birchwood.....

Sorry to hear about Luminara. I especially loved the seasonal candles Martha Stewart had only for Q. Luminara has a shop on Amazon with a pretty extensive collection but I'll miss them on QVC.

Another in a string of many mistakes by QVC as to vendors that we like versus ones that are on all the time with same old same old. Other flameless candles they still offer look like discount stores' offerings and nothing like a real candle. And some of the home interior offerings these days by say the likes of Mally are very gaudy IMO. Seems QVC has left all us I guess old timers who prefer class and more elegant things behind.

And sad to say but I agree with you @just wonder. I thought they were the classy one....guess that's gone now.
