About the founder

James G. Paquette

A loving husband and a father to two children, Jim Paquette (1961-2023) was a brilliant inventor, a kindhearted boss, and most certainly a jack of all trades. Jim's passion in life was solving problems with elegant, yet practical, solutions. Upon the construction of his dream home, Jim stumbled upon the problem that many customers, potentially including you, face during the Christmas season: crappy dollar store window candles.

To solve this issue, Jim figured the best option was to install outlets under each window. No... that wasn't enough! He hated the look of corded candles and hideous extension cords, especially when a home is supposed to look warm and inviting during the holidays, not like a construction site!

After some discussions with friends, family, and some engineers, a patent for the WindowCandles System was born, and the first installation (Jim's house) was performed.

Now, after an HGTV commercial and some blood, sweat, and tears, WindowCandles are installed in tens of thousands of homes throughout the United States and Canada.

Testimonials

By far the best company I have ever dealt with. Built a new home with 75 windows to capture all the surroundings. When introduced to these candles It was a no brainer. I keep the candles lit all year round. No extension cords and with a flick of a switch they all come on and off. Recently had to purchase more bulbs. In a blink of an eye they were sent to me after contacting the company. I wish every company would run so efficiently and with much grace I might add as Window Candles. I am a customer for as long as the Good Lord allows me to be. Thank you for a great product, your help and understanding. Happy Holidays!

Love My WindowCandles & Supplier!
I have owned my window candles for 10 years now and enjoy them more each year! It's easy to replace the bulbs and candle sleeves for special occasions or holidays. Shipments arrive safely and on-time. Couldn't be happier with this product and the concept of low-voltage candles gracing every window! They serve as senior night lights for those nightly bathroom visits! Beautifies safely!

Excellent Help & Products!!
James returned my call quickly and helped walk me through picking the correct bulbs I needed. They arrived 2 days later and we have been thrilled with them. I even went back and purchased a few spares to have on hand for years down the road, as well as additional bulbs in case our football team makes the playoffs! Great product. Great support. It's a win-win for me. Thanks James!
