A traditional looking beeswax candle but this one is a Battery Operated taper that doesn't look plastic. This dancing flame taper is battery/timer operated. Every nook and corner needs a little light. Taper has a built-in timer that keeps it lit for 6 hours, then off for 18 hours and it requires 1 AAA battery (not included) to operate. Simply press on/off via a button on the bottom of the taper's battery compartment to set the timer. Measures 7.75" high by .75" wide.
