Flameless Candles - Please

just wonder — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 18:01:57 GMT

Bring back more Luminara flameless candles! I see there are new Home Reflections flameless candles in inventory, but these wicks are SO FAKE looking, nothing like lovely Luminara! Believe this is an in-house brand, but for those of us who prefer I guess spending a little more money for the REAL look, would appreciate more Luminara options.

I don't know for sure, but people say that QVC actually reads the comments and requests in the Suggestion Box section.

The Luminara website has their lovely candles for sale in very appealing colors.

I'll be shopping there

Oh, good idea - I will copy to the Suggestion Box - thank you!

@just wonder I agree. There is nothing that compares to Luminara. I have purchased many from Boscovs and Hobby Lobby.

I do prefer Luminara over other brands. Hopefully we will see a big return next year. Probably too late for this year.

For Christmas, I like the white (frost) glitter version.

I would like QVC to carry more Luminara as well. I have shopped on the Luminara website, but their prices seem to be much more than the QVC offerings. Janine Graff (the QVC Luminara rep) recently stated there is not much Luminara in the future. Not sure what that means.

Occasionally I see Luminara candles in Home Goods. They have them cheaper there.

I have picked up plain white (not my fav) at Home Goods but have also picked up lovely orange candles with embossed pumpkins. I passed on the tapers because of a design flaw. The wick is too low down for a taper. I was able to find votive Luminara sets at Home Goods as well. I haven't used them yet but am happy about the find.

@PA Mom-mom I heard Janine make a comment too. I got the impression maybe they can't get the volume QVC would require because of the way things are going on in the world now.

I wonder if the issue with the tsv set of 3 different color candles made QVC pause. The harvest set had two of the same color. There were many bad reviews with that complaint.

I am willing to give Luminara another chance!

@Sakuya Me too, I love my candles and I have many.

I am a huge fan of these! I still remember when I got my first one and put it on the mantle. DH and I weren't home, so DD, who had recently gotten her license, picked her brother up after a Boy Scout meeting. He was probably about 10 or so. She had already seen them.

They came in the house and DS frantically said, "Mom forgot to put the candles out!" She played along for a minute, then showed him!

I still enjoy watching Janine's video from time to time. She snaps her fingers and goes through the holidays, starting with Halloween. I can't post the link, but Google "Janine Graff and Kerstin Lindquist QVC 7 25 20" on YouTube. It's near the end of the video.

Janine Graff, the main vendor for Luminara, was asked on an Instagram post if QVC still sold Luminara. Her response was, "No. They have stalled. There are a few items still."

So, maybe no new offerings, but by saying stalled they may offer more later. Many complained about the prices as they were. I'm thinking they toyed with how to increase prices with the tariffs and such, but not increase it so the complaints increased as well. Stalling puts the item on hold until they can figure it out. I could be wrong, but that's my guess.

I believe the order for the candles would have needed to be placed long before tariffs.

I agree - I'm very disappointed that QVC is no longer selling Luminara. I have several of their candles and they are by far superior to any other flameless candle. The ones they are selling on QVC now are just so fake looking when you compare them to Luminara.

Yes, we can buy them elsewhere, but I did find that QVC had some of the best prices on their candle sets and and specialty candles.

Oh well.

Hopefully we will see a return of Luminara next year. In the meantime, I keep an eye out at Home Goods for them. They don't have the variety or quantity, but they do have them on occasion.

The candles that have the plastic tip for the flame are very unattractive. In error I purchased something last year, my fault but will not buy again.

I don't like to shop for Luminara on their own Luminara website. I prefer their standard 3" melted top candles. Too many of their candle options use the AA batteries as opposed to CC batteries. They have a very limited varaiety that use CC or DD batteries.

I get 6 months battery life on a timer with all of my Luminara CC battery candles (and longer for DD battery) that I purchased from QVC. I will never buy a pillar flameless candle again that only uses AA because they eat AA batteries.

@Caaareful Shopper I have several that take C batteries which I prefer but they are the older candles. Do you think they are phasing them out?
