All questions & answers
What comes in the Context candle set?

The $130 set includes six rechargeable, real-wax flameless candles, a USB charging dock that holds all six, a USB cable and a power adapter. Each candle is 2.5 inches (64 mm) tall and 1.25 inches (32 mm) in diameter.

What kind of wax are Context candles made from?

Context candles have hand-poured paraffin wax bodies with a matte, warm-ivory finish. The wax forms the candle’s exterior; an LED inside provides the light.

What colour is the light, and does it flicker?

Context uses a warm, flickering 2,700K LED. The light sits inside a shallow well at the flat top of the candle. See the light and the wax body.

Are the candles scented?

No. Context candles are made with unscented real wax. The light comes from an LED inside, so there is no burning wick or open flame.

Is there a flame, smoke or burning wax?

No. The light comes from an LED, so there is no burning wick, open flame, soot or smoke from a flame. The wax body is not consumed to produce the light.

How long do the candles stay lit?

A 30-minute charge provides 30 hours of light per candle. That’s about two weeks at two hours each evening. Continuous use lasts 30 hours.

How do I recharge the candles?

Connect the dock using the USB cable and power adapter included with the set. Place the candles on the dock to recharge. See the setup guide and 17-second demonstration.

Will Context candles fit my votives or candle holders?

Each candle is 32 mm across and 64 mm tall. Compare those measurements with the inside of your holder and its opening. Leave enough clearance to lift the candle out for charging; fit depends on the holder. Check dimensions and holder fit.

Do the candles need to stay plugged in while lit?

No. Each candle is cordless while lit, so you can move it away from the dock. The dock needs its USB power connection when you recharge the candles.

What does shipping cost?

US shipping for one set is $15. Larger and international orders require a shipping quote before payment. Send your quantity and destination.

Can I return the set?

Return the undamaged set and dock within 14 days of delivery for a product-price refund. Original shipping is not refunded; return shipping is buyer-paid. Read the return terms.

What about replacements?

Email us. If a candle or dock fails, we handle replacements case by case. Include your order reference or checkout email and describe the issue.

The wax feels nice in person. I was worried they’d look plasticky.

Good, a little smaller than I expected.

Ben T.

Love them. Wish I could buy two more separately.

Good light. Charging dock lives in a drawer when we’re not using it.

Got these for my mum and ended up ordering some for us. She likes that there’s no remote to lose.

I still prefer a real flame for dinner sometimes, but these are convenient and look good.

Easy enough to use. Check the dimensions before ordering, they’re quite small.
