H211359 Lightscapes RGB Flameless Candle with Pedestal and Remote

I received two of these in the Lattice choice.

The pedestals are indeed ceramic and in my opinion nicely made, not 100% perfect, but close enough.

One of my candles will not turn on via switch or remote. The other works fine. I knew I probably would not like the various colors of the LED lights in the candle base, not that there's anything wrong with them, but I do like the amber color--the orange button on the remote. I think it best matches the LED that lights up the body of the candle.

Here is a photo of how I'm planning to use my one working set. This is a shelf in a corner of my kitchen. My parents bought four of the items on the shelf for me during their visits to Cracker Barrel. They know how much I love to shop there! :-) This will make a nice nightlight.

Twine Not Included

. I wrapped it with twine hoping to tone down the glitter presence on the candle, so it would blend in a little better with the farm scene.

Knowing almost nothing about RGB technology, I am assuming it is probably normal to see true red and true green shining out in small areas here and there, when I select the amber color? Here is a closeup showing what it looks like on amber. See the red and green to the left and right? For this reason, I won't be putting it in a more open area if I'm wanting the monochromatic look.

I figured out what I can do with my second pedestal. Since its candle doesn't light up at all so it can't illuminate the pedestal, I thought of these light strands that I recently received from Zulily. They are sold at other places, too. I got them to go in glass bottles that I display here and there, and they cost $6.99 each, and have timers. I haven't had them long enough to know how long the batteries will last.

LED Lighted Bottle Stopper

I temporarily wrapped and taped a strip of paper towel around the black barrel which houses the two AAA batteries. I dropped the barrel, with the lights loosely wrapped around it, into the pedestal--it has a hole in the top. I forgot to turn the candle on. Oops. Here is the result:

After my initial disappointment about one candle being defective, I'm now excited that I found a way to illuminate the second pedestal if I choose. I wanted to share the info and pics for anyone interested.

QVC offered what I felt was a fair partial refund for the defective candle, so that I could keep the now-sold-out lattice pedestal.

Do you think this Candle Impressions candle looks good on this pedestal?

@SHOPR I think it all looks fine. I didn't buy that pedestal but I'm sure it will help those that did. You are very generous with your sharing to help others.

Yes I love it, looks very good together, vintage. I also like the twine.

shopr, I'm going to be a copycat. I have a couple candles that I'd like

to rustic up a bit, and the twine is perfect. Thank you for sharing

your pictures.

Oh my Shopr, you are very creative. I like the candle with the twine. I never would have thought of that. I really like that candle impression candle and regret I never got one. Not sure if I like it on the pedestal. You are the decorator though. 😁

I love how you incorporated it with your other items, especially love what a difference the twine made. It all looks so nice together!! Interesting about the RGB effect.

Glad QVC gave you a partial refund for his non working one. I think how you made it work looks great!!

Thanks for posting all this!
