Jar candles are shown in glass containers. Tealights typically use small plastic cups. Decorative or larger LED pieces list resin or plastic casings.
Flameless/LED styles use several battery types: CR2032 lithium cells for some LED tealights, AA batteries for some pillar/large LED pieces, and AAA batteries for certain taper sets. Listings indicate whether batteries are included or required.
Common features include lifelike flickering flame effects, realistic wick appearance for a natural look, remote controls, and built-in timers.
