If you are looking to create a mood and add ambiance to your home there are many ways to do it. The way that you dress your home is key. Adding lighting, curtains, photos, knick knacks and the like can make your home appear inviting.

Decorative lights are perfect for creating a warm and pleasing atmosphere around the home and they come in a number of styles. Additionally, using different types of lighting can help to create a romantic atmosphere for date nights.

Tea lights are dainty, and give off a nice, soft glow. They fit in with nearly any décor, and tend to make your home look quite pleasant, especially during the holiday party season. If you have candle holders or containers, you will find that tea lights are just the thing to give off a colorful, but muted, light.

However, traditional tea lights do tend to burn out quite quickly, either the wicks are too short or the candle is just too small for the length of your party, dinner or evening. One way to combat this? Purchase battery powered tea lights!

Battery tea lights are a popular new style of lighting, as they are safer than burning candles but give off the same appealing look. These lights are incredibly affordable, and since they do not burn out, melt away or lose their wicks, they are actually more cost effective in the long run. In addition, you will not have to scrounge around to find matches. Simply add batteries and Voila! You have a gorgeous, soft light that lasts for hours and hours.

Typically these battery powered tea lights come with batteries and each light will operate for a number of hours on just one battery. Economical and smart! Additionally, there is no candle mess to clean up, no melted wax or soot left behind.

Battery powered tea lights are a safer alternative to traditional tea lights, as these burn an actual flame and battery powered lights do not. These battery powered tea lights look just as realistic as traditional tea lights but are cool to the touch! In fact, there are a variety of options when it comes to these tea lights, you can purchase them in various colors, sizes and there are even flickering candle effects available.

Place these battery powered tea lights right inside your opaque candle holders, outdoors in lanterns or bags for decoration, in pumpkins for Jack o’ Lanterns, and around the home at holiday time!

These are even ideal for gift giving, because they are novel and practical all at one. Battery powered tea lights are perfect for anyone who likes to leave their candles burning for a long period of time, or for anyone who has ever forgotten to blow their candles out. This type of candle is very safe, with a long battery life.

Dressing your home with pictures, flowers, pillows and decorative lighting can really set the mood. One easy, economical way to do this is to purchase battery powered tea lights and place them as you would typical candles, without the mess or the danger of a real flame.
