A great many people find comfort in visiting the graves of their loved ones who have passed on. Some also like to bring special tokens such as toys, figurines and flowers to leave on the headstone as a sign of respect. Cemetery Candles are also quite popular because they are attractive and provide lighting for the site.
This practice began centuries ago using wax products to keep a constant light on the grave to honor the spirit. However, due to the potential for spreading fire, most facilities no longer allow the use of open flames. Solar powered lanterns have become the alternative of choice in this matter.
Sometimes called eternal, vigil or abiding lights, these products ensure that the headstone is illuminated. They use solar cells and light-emitting diodes instead of filaments to create their glow. Excess energy collected during times of high sunshine are used to power the lamp through the night, during rain or on overcast days.
Light-emitting diodes have the capacity of as many as 100,000 hours of operation, which is quite economical. Dependability also makes them a worthy investment. They also have the versatility of having their glow come in various forms such a steady and bright, flickering to imitate a real candle, or amber for soft light.
Headstone design and size are huge factors to consider when selecting this type of lighting. That will help determine whether or not a shelf sitting model or a ground stake style would be more appropriate. Of course before any purchase is made, one should verify that the particular burial facility has no bans or restrictions on these decorations.
Not only do these items look attractive and serve an honorable purpose, they have other advantages as well. They are environmentally friendly and can be easily transported or rearranged. They last for a long time and provide many hours of reliable lighting without needing to be constantly monitored and with no worry of fire if they should be tipped over.
