How long do batteries last in an LED candle?
This varies by candle type and brand. Here are the averages:
| Candle type | Batteries | Burn time |
|---|---|---|
| LED tealight | 1× CR2032 | 100–400 hours |
| LED dinner candle | 2× AA or AAA | 150–300 hours |
| LED pillar candle (small) | 2× C | 500–700 hours |
| Uyuni pillar candle 7.8 cm | 2× C | up to 1,000 hours |
| Uyuni large pillar candle | 3× D | up to 1,500 hours |
Tips to make batteries last longer:
- Use the timer function — set the candle to turn off automatically after 4 or 8 hours. This way, it never burns longer than necessary.
- Use quality batteries (Duracell, Energizer) — cheap batteries last significantly less long.
- Turn off the candle when you leave the room.
Rechargeable LED candles Don't want the hassle of batteries? Choose a rechargeable LED candle. You charge it via USB and it burns for 10–24 hours per charge, depending on the model.
