About KENN®

My name is Ken, founder of KENN®.

The beginning of KENN® was actually very simple: I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

I love a cozy home, but the LED candles I came across often felt like a compromise. I saw unnatural flame colors and cheap materials; a look that simply didn’t resemble a real candle.

Real candles are beautiful, but you don’t feel comfortable leaving them burning when you step out of the room. LED candles do offer that safety, but they always lacked the warmth and natural feel of a flame. Because I didn’t want to settle for ‘almost right,’ I decided to do it differently myself.

The beginning

In 2020, I started small. What began as a personal project gradually grew into something serious through bol.com. The demand for LED candles that were both beautiful and realistic turned out to be much greater than I had expected.

That’s why I focused entirely on the details. The flame, the light color, and the finish of the material were refined again and again until they met my personal standards. I deliberately chose materials that not only look luxurious but also feel sturdy and can withstand some wear and tear.

The positive feedback was the deciding factor to keep going. KENN® has now grown into a true family business, with several family members working behind the scenes to make this growth possible.

The next step

As KENN® grew, so did the ambition to become more sustainable. Good LED candles that last for years deserve more than disposable batteries that you constantly have to replace.

That’s why we expanded our range with rechargeable candles and rechargeable tea lights.

By using a built-in battery and self-developed technology, we combine sustainability and convenience without losing the realistic look we are known for.

At the end of 2025, this led to the GlowPro™ series: our first own collection where technology, design, and sustainability come together in one thoughtful whole. It is the crown of our work so far and perfectly shows where we want to take KENN®.
