I want to know if anyone has seen a brand of flameless candles designed like Luminara but the name is Simplux. I picked one up at our local craft store and the flame on it is 360 degree all the  way around. Really quite impressive for a side view. It also has remote that lets you lower the flame to candle mode or  up to light mode and you can make it bright or dim. I looked these up and it says they can be ordered at Walmart and the one I have is wax.. I suppose they are fairly new . Dont get me wrong, I love Luminara but I do love the look of this round flame that you can see from all sides. I am fully expecting that Luminara will come out with something like this in the future. It  is genius really.

@Junker2327...Does the flame move on the Simplux or is it fixed like on the Mirage brand?


@Junker2327  @mallemo  I saw the Simplux candles on the Walmart website but they are very pricey as well.  A 5 1/4 " white wax candle is on sale for $35.99, said save $15.  Yes, it has a moving flame that what I could tell looked similiar to Solare.  They do have more of a 360 and I like that and also some glittered ones with wax drip look that are pretty.  I have a lot of Luminara and don't need to buy anymore right now but thanks @Junker2327 for the HU.







 

 

I think the simplux candles are actually just the solare candles the q sells under a different name. Look at this brochure page (link below) and then look at item h203967 and h203968.

That is very interesting.  Thanks. I had no idea.  After looking at it online, it is the same as Solare sold here, except for the dim/bright and up/down choices.

Sorry that you are disappointed.  That should have been clearly stated in the description and also should have been mentioned in the presentation. Somehow I already knew that they were plastic, but QVC needs to be more thorough about things like this.

I am more interested in the tealights which are shorter.  I think they are also plastic, but for me it won't matter, because they will be completely hidden inside votive holders.  I just want the look of the Luminara flame.

@SHOPR...I asked Susan Matthews on her FB page when and if the smaller votives/tealights were coming and this is the response that I got. I'm sure they were pictured in a promo about the same time as the Luminara TSV lantern so I assumed they would be coming soon.

@mallemo, Thank you for letting me know what was said.  I don't really understand that, though, because the Moving Flame brand tealights contain the Luminara technology and are being sold already.  Take a look at the video:  http://www.batteryoperatedcandles.net/moving-flame-tealight-p-dancing-flame-candles.html

 

I just ordered one set of two Mystique brand tealights at Overstock.  They sent me a 13% off code today, which will take care of the shipping.  I am taking a chance that they will be the Luminara technology, because I have no way to know for sure except to try them.  These are a little shorter than the Moving Flame branded ones above.  I will be glad to report back whether or not they are the Luminara technology when I get them.

Re: First Luminara disappointment - Votives

I received these last evening.  They are a rusty red, not my favorite, but they will work for what I had planned, and when they are lit, unless one is standing very close, the fact that they are not wax is not apparent.

Thanks for the link- didn't know they had Luminara votives! I need to ge there. I prefer wax but where I am going to have them, you won't be able to tell anyway.
