More on Sukkah Chandeliers...


Ok, raise your hand if you missed out on this $3 Sukkah Chandelier deal.  I'm sorry. These went like hotcakes.  I've gotten a whole bunch of emails asking me about Sukkah Chandeliers.  It's a great idea that I stole from my wildly creative artist sister-in-law, Ellen.   Since you're allowed to transfer flame on YomTov, use a tea light chandelier in your Sukkah.  It's elegant, decorative, and creates a wonderful candlelit glow at night.  You still do need other light sources, as tealights don't give off a lot of light, so we use Christmas Sukkah stringlights as well.

Well, the $3 chandelier deal has come and gone, but you can get this beautiful look-alike (pictured above) Garden Oasis 5-Votive Candle Chandelier for $20.97 with free store pickup here.  $21 is still a great price on Sukkah chandelier and this one is truly lovely.

There's also this one:  Shabby Elegance Scrollwork Chandelier for $18 with free shipping from Amazon. These are just 3 candles, so I would use at least two of them.

(Safety tip:  I would not recommend using regular candles with these, as they can tip over.  I would use only tealights, or even those flat, tealight-like citronella candles (does double-duty of keeping away mosquitoes).  Make sure you never leave a lit tealight chandelier unattended.  If you finish the YomTov meal before the tealights burn out, bring them back with you into the house.)
