  • Wireless and Portable, Battery-operated and cable-free, it can be placed anywhere on set with ease. Quick to set up, it integrates seamlessly into any scene.

  • Designed to Match Traditional Candles

    Measuring 240mm in height (including 22mm flame), the Candelair is designed to fit into standard candleholders and candelabras—ideal for both period dramas and contemporary sets.

Using lit candles on film, TV, or theatre sets can create a specific atmosphere and enhance the visual appeal of a scene, but it also presents several risks. These include the risk of fire, potential burns to the cast, crew, or equipment, and air quality concerns caused by naked flames. Additionally, the unpredictable movement of a flame poses challenges for cinematography, as it can subtly alter lighting, affecting continuity across takes. The Candelair solves all these issues for our clients.
