Brown Flicker Timer Taper is a battery-operated candle with a flicker flame and a brown wax coating. The built-in timer function keeps the candle lit for 6 hours, then off for 18 hours, repeating the cycle automatically each day. The wax drips along the sides of the candle combined with the elongated flame give the taper a realistic appearance. Taper requires 2 AA batteries and measures 6" high. Batteries not included.
