Do they fulfill the mitzvah under the strictest interpretations? No
Do they work for more progressive Jewish movements and help you to keep your little angels safe? Yes
Don’t shame people for using electric candles for Jewish mitzvot, especially if they have a pet that requires it
This has been a PSA
Anyway Announcement: If you own a birb, you can’t light a candle. The candles that are birb safe are very very very rare and it’s better to be safe than sorry because their little lungs can’t handle the particles emitted! So if you have a birb and want to light Shabbat Candles, or a Hanukkiah, may I recommend instead: Electric ones
