The Difference of Flameless Pillar Candles at The Wick Shape

The “moving flame” candles have an actual candle flame-like element that physically moves from side-to-side. “Non-moving flame” Flameless Pillar Candles do not have anything that physically moves, but rather they have one or more LEDs that vary in brightness in an attempt to simulate the action of a real candle flame. Since real candle flames physically move and vary in brightness, “moving flame” Flameless Pillar Candles produce the most realistic effect.
