Vinkor Flameless Candles Battery Operated Candles Real Wax Pillar LED Candles with 10-Key Remote and Cycling 24 Hours Timer (Ivory 4" 5" 6" 7" 8" 9")

Love these flameless candles! For years I had a fireplace candle stand I begged my husband to buy me, but I never used it because candles are expensive and it heated the house too much ( we live in Southern California.) i saw a YouTube influencer with these so I gave them a try and fell in love with the ambiance it gave the room. No need to turn each candle on, as it has a remote you can set on a timer, as well as choose flickering or steady light. Much safer, than real candles, too!

Love these candles.... love that they are wax and not plastic....the flicker mode is very nice. I wish i could order extra remotes. I use these for my crafting projects and 2 remotes is not enough.

These have a very realistic looking flicker to the flame, the wax composition feels and looks real, and the remote control makes it that much easier to control settings from a distance!

Full disclosure: I have two sets of these candles. I purchased the first set years ago, and the second set recently.LOOKS: These look like real candles, and if you set them to "Candle" on the remote, they will flicker. No, it doesn't look 100% like a flame candle, but it will create nice ambiance without the risk of fire. (Since I have curious pets, the fire risk is a real issue.) The candles themselves look realisticDURABILITY: These candles have held up over time. I will say that because they are real wax, knocking them over / dropping them will crack them. I've had one mishap, and one of the candles has a crack in it. It still works, however. The one issue with durability is the battery covers; a few of mine have a tendency to pop out like a jack-in-the-box (and the batteries go flying!). The package includes an extra set of covers, however. I do wish, though, that they'd offer replacement covers separately. (They don't. I've already asked, and I've already run out of extra covers from my first set.)BATTERY LIFE: I generally only use the candles in the evening for a few hours. That being said, I do light them every night during the winter months, and I don't need to change the batteries often. They batteries in these candles last 2-3 times longer than the same AA rechargeable batteries in a similar set of candles from a big box store.REMOTE CONTROL: It works fine and has clear labels. I have had to replace the battery in the remote once in the last several years. The set includes 2 remotes, which is handy if one gets lost (see the curious pets, above).Overall, I recommend the set, and I liked it enough to buy a second set recently for another room.

I've bought three sets, which we display in our windows at Christmas. The electric "candles" provide a warm, inviting light. However, they don't flicker, which is the reason they provide an inexpensive choice.

No complaints with the quality of the candles or the remote controls. I like the variety of candle heights and the adjustable settings. It's cool to change the mood without the risk of starting a fire. Will buy again.

I would not recommend these unless you have a specific need for what they offer.Quality: 4/5. I purchased the black set. On arrival everything worked. There was one battery cap that was tough to get off due to being broken, but the item did arrive with two extra battery caps (presumably because they know there are sometimes issues). Quality is about what would be expected for the price. Cheap plastic.Issues: The way these produce light is odd. They are good for up lighting which is why you see most people putting them inside a fireplace. They don't produce much light, and the light they do produce only goes up. I found a use for them up lighting curtains, which is actually pretty neat. I wanted to have candles that I could put in sconces, but these won't do the job. They also are pretty skinny.Overall they *could* be worth it if you need them for a very specific purpose. I'll be honest, I bought them on a whim as I was buying other LED candles to try. I probably would not buy these again because I use my fireplace for real fires, and they don't fit most other applications for which you'd use candles. These would be horrible window lights.

They really do look like a wax candle. They come with a remote too
