Don’t do this! Battery operated candles have become all the rage at rental villas. And why not? They don’t blow out, the newest ones are very convincing, they’re inexpensive and the batteries last a long time. Days, really. The problem is, they are too convincing. Every time we go to our house, we find one and sometimes several that people have actually tried to light. If it has a switch, don’t light it! Thank you. -The management. 8 Responses to “Don’t do this!”Leave a Reply |

I’m also finding it really tough to peel those bananas in the basket that just stay yellow and never rot. Ha Ha Just proves we sometimes leave our brains on the plane!

Leave a sticky note ( biggie size ) that reads:
All candles are battery operated, do not attempt to light. Flip switch to “on”.
You have a 50-50 chance the guest will read the note

Nice, but I do hope that all those dead batteries aren’t winding up in the landfill.

If I had that candle, I would not light it with a match. I would use the switch… because I do not want to burn my candle, and because it would waste some of my money.
PS – I have a few of those candle things…. I do not light it with a match. I use the switch.

We have solar powered ones, but they don’t look as “real” — but, we save money on batteries, and to Bill’s point they don’t end up in landfills.
