Flame On

At dusk, cooling ocean breezes ripple as Hilton Waikoloa Village guests gather to enjoy the breathtaking Pacific sunsets. “We can’t operate without candlelight,” says Abby Murtagh, Food and Beverage Director at the 65-acre resort. “But candles constantly get blown out by the wind.” The solution? Smart Candle’s rechargeable LED candles. “They are wonderful because they’re wind-proof,” explains Murtagh. The time savings alone are substantial, as employees no longer repeatedly stop to re-light candles, while the easy-to-use yet innovative technology generates a long-lasting, realistic light that simulates a flickering wax or liquid-fuel candle flame. The initial investment in the battery-operated candles is quickly made up by the savings on fuel, explains Murtagh.

Miguel Reynoso, manager of the resort’s Kamuela Provision Company restaurant known for its daily sunset celebration, has recently increased his Smart Candle usage. “They are used on every table top, both indoors and outdoors,” the busy Reynoso explains. “Durable, lightweight and safe, they’re easier to maintain than the fuel cells. That’s one less worry.”

Environmental awareness is a high priority at Waikoloa says Murtagh. “We’re very conscious of our use of disposable and re-usable products.” As Reynoso explains, the eco-friendly Smart Candle products help meet those sustainability goals. “The fuel cells we used cannot be recycled. With Smart Candle we use less energy while polluting less.”—JT ”

Smart Candle battery-operated and rechargeable candles are the perfect way to cut cost without your guests even knowing it. The Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport Hilton is just one of many businesses that has discovered the quality, style and value of Smart Candle.
