Holiday

 Many homes on the Cape in Massachusetts have welcome lights in the windows all year long.  I love the way they look and am glad you like VPH's battery operated lights.  I will have to try them this year!

I love to see this but I don't do it.

I keep my Luminara window candles up all year.  Window candles are a tradition in PA in the area where I grew up, and I think it looks very welcoming all year long.

Funny story- I had window candles in the windows that I bought at my nearest ACE hardware. They look real and flicker. (I live in PA and lots of people have them year round).

Here's the funny thing. Our new kitten 5 and 1/2 months old, decided he hates window candles for some unknown reason!  He learned to get on the window sills lately. He knocked them down, I put them back, he knocked them down. I put them back, and yep once again he knocked them down! So, I put them away (for now). lol. I will try again when he gets a little older.

I was thinking of ordering Valerie's window candles today.  For any of you that have purchaed them already, do they have more of a yellow glow or white glow to them?  I'm looking for more of a warm white glow.  I see that Valerie's going to be on at 3 later on and I'll be tuning in, however, if anyone can tell me what color that would be great.   Thanks!

I would definitely call it closer to white than yellow, and I was afraid it would be too bright and too white for me, as what I really wanted was Luminara window candles.

I will say, I'm not at all sorry I bought the Valerie window candles. The battery life (using Duracell Quantum batteries) lasted much longer than they advertised, they were not too bright (I was afraid it would look like we were landing airplanes as we have a lot of windows).

I loved the heavy metal base, and the small footprint was the main reason I went with them. I have some of my sills that are very thin, so thin that even these don't fit completely on them. But even with the 'overhang', they never even tried to tip off, because of those heavy bases.

But as to your original question, the glow is not that yellow or amber you see in some bulbs, but more white.

The great thing about buying them now, is that you have seven months to decide if you like them or not. Set them up and let them run for awhile to see what you think. Can be returned till end of January.

Mominohio - It sounds like this is what I'm looking for.  I also need more of a narrow base and was afraid of the glow being too yellow.  However, as I watched Valerie's entire  presentation of them and from the description of what you wrote, that really helped.  I ordered two sets because this is a great price for the quality.
