Cindervale Flame Light

Fabric, not plastic

The flame is a length of red fabric, not a molded plastic tongue painted orange. Lit from the two LED rows along the top of the box, it reads as fire from the curb instead of a lamp shade shaped like one.

Cord, not batteries

It ships with a standard three-prong cord. Run it to the porch outlet or an outdoor extension and it stays lit as long as it is plugged in, which is more than most battery props manage past nine.

The box disappears

The housing is flat black with a vented front and small feet, so it sits low and vanishes once the sun drops. What the street sees is the fire, not the fixture. After October it does campfire duty at a party or on a stage.

Built for outdoors

Halloween night, and the morning after

Plug it in at dusk, set it where the placement guide says, and let it burn until the last porch light on the block goes off. Next morning, unplug, fold the fabric flat, and the whole thing goes back in its box on a shelf until next year, or until the next party needs a campfire.

• Five feet of flame that never needs putting out
• Fabric folds flat and the box stores it upright
• Works as a campfire once Halloween is over
