The Most Romantic Fireplace Ever: IlluminationsBy JHCadmin, January 4, 2010 I want one.When I got my first glimpse of an Illuminations Electric Fireplace, the flickering candles drew me like a moth to flame.Who cares that these babies don’t put out any heat? They’re beautiful. They’re romantic. They’re every candle lover’s dream.I can imagine one hanging on the wall right above my bed. Or next to the soaking tub in my master bath (if I had a master bath with a soaking tub in it!). Or in an outdoor room. The possibilities are endless.Illuminations Fireplaces (by Fireplace Xtrordinair) come in two configurations: see-through or one-sided. You can choose from three types of candles: wax, calcite stone, or a white plastic sleeve. Each candle is equipped with a 4 watt, 70-hour bulb, and the “flame” wiggles to give the appearance of a flickering flame. It’s quite entertaining, actually. I kept peering at the flames to try to figure out what made them wiggle. If a candle bulb burns out, no worries. Simply pull the front off the fireplace and replace the bulb. The fireplace runs off wall electricity, just like a lamp.After choosing a decorative mantle to house your Illuminations fireplace, you can mount it on a wall by fitting it between studs, or you can set it up as a freestanding fireplace. Just plug it into any electric outlet and you’re good to go!Of course, you can purchase your own Illuminations Electric Fireplace (or two, or three) at Rich’s for the Home.Here’s a video so you can see Illuminations Electric Fireplaces in action: Illuminations Electric Fireplace by Fireplace Xtrordinair from Travis Industries on Vimeo.Recent Articles See All 7 Must-Have Hot Tub and Swim Spa Features Hot Tubs and Swim Spas Author:Rich's For The Home Posted:March 1, 2023 An effective and enjoyable way to get pain relief is in a hydrotherapy spa or swim spa.
