Costco has a set of 5 Mirage Candles, various heights, on sale for $20.00.  Includes remote and they have timers.  Ivory is the only color I've seen, if anyone is interested.

That's a lot cheaper than Luminara.  I have had bad luck with the Liminara.  I wonder how these will perform.  Great price.

Someone mentioned these in a thread a couple of weeks ago.  I got them (at $39) and they are a very nice set.  Only complaint (and not a biggee since I will not use them in a fully darkened room) is that the flicker throw upward shows circles on the ceiling.  The Luminara just has flickering light.  Other than that, this is a GREAT value at the current $19.99 especially since it includes 20 AA batteries so you are all set from the get go!   This would be a very nice gift. Thanks for starting a thread on this @dryheat!

I have several Mirage tapers and lots of Luminara, and I like the Mirage for the price. The flicker isn't as realistic as Liminara, but the color of the glow is more like a real candle. I saw those candles at Costco, but I don't need any more pillars. I think it's a great buy. Also, the Mirage seem to have a longer battery life than the Luminara.

Thank you, that's a great buy!  Plus the batteries and the shipping and handling are included in the $20.00 price. That's a big savings over others I've seen.

 

The one big negative that I can see is, the Mirage pillar candles from Costco use 4 AA batteries and only get up to 350 hours of run time. Where as the Mirage pillar candles from QVC use either 2 C cell batteries, or 2 D cell batteries, and get between 650 - 675 hours of run time. 

 

If you're only planning on running them occasionally, it's not that big of a deal. But if you plan on running them daily, the difference in run time would end up costing you more in batteries, than the amount you save on the purchase.

Thanks for sharing about Mirage at Costco.  My friends & I went today - we bought them a great buy!

 

Loved all the Duracell batteries are included, remote & candles have timers.

 

Thanks again!

Bummer for me, no Costco in my area!

 

Great deal at that price, and even though I don't need any more ivory candles, I would have been very tempted if there was one around here.

I think you can order online but not sure if you'll need membership.
