I saw this in a circa-1780 Airbnb, and I had to have it.

I live in a 1960s colonial on a dead-end street in the New York suburbs, but I decorate my home as if I’m in a cottage on the outskirts of an old New England fishing village. If I squint hard enough, I can pretend it’s a charming old bed-and-breakfast—surrounded by antique finds, milk glass and all—but as much as I try, faux-wood tiles and the kids playing basketball in the cul-de-sac win out. But then I spent the weekend at a historic Massachusetts home-turned-Airbnb circa 1780 and discovered this quaint hack for adding character to my cookie-cutter two story.
The Luminara Flameless Candle Night Light is an LED plug-in that looks inspired by the wrought iron candlestick holders of the past—only it’s made from plastic and is totally flameless. I’ve been stalking the price, waiting for the sublest hint of a sale, from the moment I found it on Amazon, but this clever accessory rarely goes on sale. It’s *finally* marked down to 20 percent off, so if you’re like me and love vintage-y, cottagecore vibes, act now while it’s still on sale.
At 2.5 by 2 by 3.8 inches, this candle features a flickering technology that emulates a candle’s real movement. Plus, it plugs into the wall, so there are no batteries required. It’s risk-free since a flameless candle can’t catch anything on fire—and it even uses a dusk-to-dawn sensor that turns on and off based on the light in the room. It also auto turns off when it detects hard light.
I also love that you don’t have to worry about smoke or soot piling up on the walls or on the ceiling, like with real wax. I’ve since added one to every bathroom in our house.
It’s also a great, flame-free alternative for families with young kids and pets.
One reviewer raved about it, writing, “I love this nightlight—especially [since] it has a sensor to turn itself off during the day when there is light.” They added that it “looks very real from several feet away,” and that they “love the flicker effect it casts upon the wall behind the plug-in.”
Another reviewer that gave it a perfect five-star rating said, “My bathroom has a spa experience now,” adding that they “love the candle flicker without the fear of real candles in earthquake territory.” They also noted that they’ll “be ordering some as gifts.”
On that note, I think I know what I’m buying for stocking stuffers this year!
