Candel Cordless Flame-Glow LED Table Lantern, Rechargeable, 4-Level Touch Dimming

A flameless table lantern for dining tables, bars and bedsides: 10 to 150+ hours per charge, no outlet and no cord to hide.

We curate Candel for rooms that want candlelight without wax or soot, which is most restaurants, hotels and homes with children. The fluted acrylic vessel glows from 2500K down to 1800K, close to flame color. A touch on the top steps through four levels, and a USB-C cable recharges it in about three hours.

Best for / where to use it

• Restaurants and cafes: a flameless alternative to candles that meets fire-safety rules and needs no refills.
• Dining tables at home: set three together as a cluster down a table.
• Hotel nightstands and baths: a low-glow lantern without a cord on the bedside.
• Weddings and events: recharge the whole set between service nights.
• Covered porches: on dry evenings; the standard model is IP20, so bring it in before rain.

Installation & planning

• No wiring: charge by the included USB-C cable, about three hours to full.
• Runtime is 10 to 150+ hours depending on the level; the lowest 5 percent setting runs the longest.
• Keep the standard model dry: it is IP20. Ask Pablo about the IP54 version for protected outdoor use.
• Set on a flat, stable surface; no mounting hardware is needed.
• Dust with a soft microfiber cloth; avoid solvents on the acrylic.

Who this is not for

• Task lighting: output is 110 lm.
• Rain or damp areas on the standard IP20 model.
• Anyone who wants a fixed cool-white color: the light warms as it dims.
