Surprisingly nice LED candles!
I didn’t think I’d like these candles nearly as much as I did. I bought a BUNCH of these packs for my partner who was having an art show and wanted to set the mood around the gallery space. This was supposed to be a quick last minute cheap addition, but after the opening, we brought them home and set them up around our living room. It feels really romantic for these to kick on each day and they really warm up the space. I can’t speak for all the other colors, but while these candles aren’t going to trick anyone into thinking they’re real on close inspection, the red ones have the right flicker and pulse that they feel “real enough” if you just want to set ambiance and won’t study them closely. The red colored candles reminded both of us of Catholic church and though neither of us are religious, we can get into the sense of mystique these “candles” imbue without having to deal with constantly swapping out tea lights and feeling badly about discarding the outer foil of each candle after use. I liked these enough that I ended up ordering more for my personal work space. The light is not so bright that it will light up a room. These are essentially on par with real candles…maaaaybe a touch dimmer. They’re for mood only or perhaps a night light, but won’t really help you see much of anything.Unlike other LED candle brands we’ve tried, these candles run off of one single AA battery. We’ve had others that use 2 AAs and don’t last nearly as long. I can’t say exactly how long the batteries last, but I know disposables lasted way longer than I thought they should have. Rechargeables need to be changed a little more often but there’s less waste and, in the long run, lower cost. If you get these for every day use, I’d recommend investing in some rechargeable AA Lithium Ion batteries (not Ni-Cad) and a charger. I’m thrifty and somewhat ecologically conscious, so using rechargeables helps save money and makes me feel less guilt. If you buy a bunch of them, you keep them rotating so you can swap them out immediately while you charge up the spent ones.The included remote is a nice feature. It’s easy to have a room full of these and turn them on and off en masse. You can also set them on a timer so they kick on at the same time every day and turn themselves off after 2/4/6/or 8 hours. We have ours turn on right as it’s getting dark, and “burn” until we’re about ready to go to bed.The only slightly annoying thing about these is that when a battery dies you need to reset the timer. That’s to be expected with candles this affordable. There is no secondary internal battery that keeps a clock going, so if the battery dies and/or you replace it, you’ll need to reset the timer as well or it will just stay on until you manually turn it off again. This can be inconvenient since it’s more common that the battery will die sometime in the middle of the timer for the rest of the candles, but you just manually turn it off when the others go out, and then reset the candles the next day when you want them to turn on. It’s super easy with the remote.

Nice candles
I really like these candles overall. Price is great compared to others. They are plastic rather than glass, so they’re very lightweight and easy to store and transport. They flicker nicely and are very attractive. I like that you get three different sizes. They have a warm, amber glow which is nice but I do wish they glowed a bit brighter or whiter. The remote function is fantastic so you can position them wherever you want and turn on/off with the click of a button.

Great candles!
These candles are great and don’t have the danger of fire. They look natural and I love the timer.

Chef kiss 😘
These these are so elegant I bought a few of them. I bought some for my grandma. They add such a nice touch. They’re so easy to use with the remote. They look so real so classy.
