But if you exact maximized contrivance for every aspect of your life , theLumos Candle will automatically light up its own wickfor you , its Jehovah say , with a simple push of a button . It ’s technology for technology ’s sake , and the honorable variety of overkill for the convenience - preoccupied .
The replaceable Lumos candles are made from soya bean wax infuse with scented oils like vanilla extract , lavender , and peach , and while they use a wooden wick alternatively of cotton plant , they seem to wake and sunburn like any other scented candle . It ’s possible you could even use a regular old match to light them , but that ’s not why you ’d shell out $ 58 for the Lumos starter pack .
When placed on a special base , the Lumos candle will auto - ignite their wicks with a existent fire , and fire for about 40 hours before needing to be supersede , according to its Maker . The base is rechargeable , so it does n’t require to be tether to an outlet , allowing you to place the wax light wherever you require . Its creator promise the foot ’s stamp battery only needs to be topped off with a USB cable’s length about every four month — but that ’s assuming you ’re only lighting the candles about four time a day . At first , the ludicrous freshness of ego - get off candles might have you pressing that ignition release more frequently than that .
There are certainly a few theoretical advantage to the Lumos Candle system : You never require to run down matches or a lighter , and there ’s no risk of singeing your fingers when trying to light a wick that ’s burned close to the bottom of the glass jar .

The Lumos Candle is undoubtedly one of the least all-important upgrades for your home , but somehow that has n’t stopped it fromsurpassing its crowdfunding end on Indiegogo .
If you take the plunge , it might be a better idea to opt for one of the pricier multi - candle bundle ( six candle plus the pad will determine you back $ 144 , oof ! ) because the Lumos alkali only works with the particularly - design Lumos standard candle . In other Word , you ca n’t just run to your local Yankee Candle computer memory to get self - lighting permutation . They ’re only usable from Lumos , and if the company ever attain a financial stumbling block , as most crowdfunded products and companies do , you ’ll have no choice but to revert to a decidedly less magical life of mates book .
