# Electrically Charged Tealights These Rechargeable Tealight Candles Will Never Blow Out By Jen Chae | Published 2013-08-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-tealight-candles References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/403301999199657149/Rechargeable-Tea-Light-Candles) You won't be able to warm your teapot with these [rechargeable tealight candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-wireless-lighting), but they will stay aglow for a lot longer than traditional tealights. Made of plastic, these electric candles do not require fire to light up. They're programmed to flicker like actual tealights, in order to deliver the same ambiance but because these are much safer in settings with pets or children. These [flameless candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magma-lamp) come with a [plug-in tray that charges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paleblue-usbc-cells) up to 12 candles at a time. When fully charged, they can stay lit for up to 12 hours. Each individual tealight has an on and off switch on the bottom. Candles were historically used to sometimes provide heat or keep track of time. Though these aren't functional in that sense, the modern renditions are much more convenient to use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Rechargeable Tealight Candles:** Opportunity for innovation in developing more energy-efficient and longer-lasting rechargeable tealight candles. - **Flameless Candles:** Potential for disruption in the market by creating safer, pet and child-friendly alternatives to traditional candles. - **Electric Ambient Lighting:** An opportunity to create electric lighting options that mimic the ambiance of traditional candles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Innovation in rechargeable tealight candles can offer new and exciting options for home decor enthusiasts. - **Event Planning:** The flameless candle industry presents disruptive opportunities for event planners looking for safer lighting alternatives. - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Electric candles can provide a safer and more cost-effective solution for restaurants and hotels wanting to create an intimate ambiance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flickering Candle-Inspired Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebo-big-poppy.md) - [Slick Rechargeable Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rechargeable-lighter.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Candle Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-candle-lamps.md) - [Candle-Inspired Lightbulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velaflame.md) - [Vertical Tea-Light Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tolo-tea-candle.md) - [Tea-Light Candle Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candle-grill.md) - [Flame-Free Candle Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-candle-warmer-lamp.md) - [Romantic Modern Lighting Sources](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wick-s.md) - [Breath-Activated Flameless Lighters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch.md)
