These candles produce a uniformly warm, amber/yellow light with a pretty realistic flicker. Just push the switch on the bottom to ‘light’ or ‘extinguish.’ I left them on for many hours over the Christmas holiday and the batteries held just fine. The bulbs were still cool to the touch even after 12-14 hours of operation.

They look best in frosted, light-colored votive candle holders. Darker votives absorb much of their light but they still look fine.

These candles are functionally just fine. However I find the quality of the light they produce to be disappointing. Whereas good faux candles are hard to distinguish from real candles (if they are behind an opaque holder), these produce a light that looks fake. It has an ashy, grey quality to it. Also, the height of the flame tips are quite a bit higher than real tealight candles, meaning that they stick out above many of my holders.

You get exactly what they describe. I got these after receiving some flameless wax candles. The bulb inside those is a soft rubber and looks more realistic, which set the bar a bit higher. These bulbs are hard plastic and don’t look very realistic BUT they do flicker and if you put them in frosted glass, etc, I don’t think anyone will be able to tell

Nice that the batteries have the little plastic “cover” thingy that assures you they haven’t been used – no wasted battery life.

Caveat - they were cheap and delivered fast.

Other than that, it is a big why bother. Either use a real candle or step up to the larger sized candles with what must be better technology. I tried a pack of these against real candles, larger ones I bought and was very disappointed. I would have paid 2x to get the same flicker that the larger ones have, but after reading all the reviews rolled the dice on these.

Beware you will only get a little light LED and nothing close to a flame effect. Rating: 2 / 5
