Our outside pumpkins, however, we use these pumpkin lights from Williams-Sonoma. They're super bright, you can set them to steady or flicker, and they give of a nice buttery candle-like light. (Also they come with a remote.) The only downside is they're kind of expensive, but they're really the best alternative to real candles I've found. I "requested" that fiance buy me a whole bunch of them before he quit W-S. Here's a link to them on EBay (looks like W-S doesn't have them on the site yet for this fall.) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-WILLIAM-SONOMA-REMOTE-CONTROL-PUMPKIN-LIGHTS-SET-OF-2-/221174035423SaraB!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14503617067463075810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432553249381188872.post-36239505190765753372014-07-04T10:09:27.912-07:002014-07-04T10:09:27.912-07:00Great post, and so EXACTLY how I am about it too! ...Great post, and so EXACTLY how I am about it too! I use LEDs when I must for safety and effect (like the Hallowe'en Tree) but there is simply NO substituting a real candle in a real jack o'lantern, period. The smell, the light, the warmth, everything about it.Mike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13630407794979792276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432553249381188872.post-25233718743352025792014-07-04T09:01:08.179-07:002014-07-04T09:01:08.179-07:00Yeah, nothing really replicates the warm glow and ...Yeah, nothing really replicates the warm glow and flicker of real fire. Everything about it says HALLOWEEN to me. Makes me imgine the ancient Celts standing around a bonfire in a pitch black field under a big bright moon. Awesome. ;)MorbidMariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625176191909565113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432553249381188872.post-5622748683189871332014-07-04T02:14:55.166-07:002014-07-04T02:14:55.166-07:00If I could afford to use plain beeswax candles, I ...If I could afford to use plain beeswax candles, I would probably prefer them. I'm all about the smell of scorched punkin flesh on Halloween night, and I suspect that beeswax would compliment that beautifully.Mantan Calaverashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024705691966479703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432553249381188872.post-57911673264261191732014-07-03T16:37:41.918-07:002014-07-03T16:37:41.918-07:00Agreed.

None of the ones on the market are bright..and I still can't find any comfort in the weird unhealthy lighting that an LED gives off. The year a stiff wind kept blowing my pumpkins out comes to mind..it'd be nice to have a fall back.<br />And nothing on this earth smells as amazing as toasted pumpkin lids.<br />Rothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329750481399948095noreply@blogger.com
