Review on Set of 4 LED Flameless Advent Candles: Purple and Pink Taper Candles for Christmas Rituals, Casting Chimes, and Spells by Stuart Rasmussen

These Flameless LED Advent Wreath Candles work very well and are really pretty. A major downside, however, is that the only way to turn them on is to screw the cap tightly to the base of each candle. Likewise, the only way to turn them off after each use is to partially unscrew the same battery cover at the bottom of each candle. Of course, this method works perfectly, but sometimes one or the other candle lights up again. by itself, unless you accidentally unscrew the cover just far enough to get the metal contact in the base far enough away from the batteries. Speaking of batteries, another review I found here at Revain complained that dual-A batteries didn't fit in these candles. Well, that's certainly true enough, but the obvious reason for this is simply that each candle actually requires 2 TRIPLE A BATTERIES, NOT 2 Double A. So here we go! Other reviewers also expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that each candle has a clearly visible baffle or production line about 2/3 of the way down (which more or less indicates where 2 TRIPLE A batteries leak in each candle). ), but to be honest, it's just not something anyone even notices after a while - if at all. For my part, I'm quite picky (my wife will be the first to confirm this), but that very thin, not quite straight line on each candle doesn't bother me at all, because despite this small physical flaw, the whole set still looks pretty austere . OK. I think this product has another small downside; This is because these plastic candles are too narrow at the base to fit snugly in most Advent wreath candle holders. While the plugs stand well on their own, they tend to tilt slightly one way or the other, making it necessary to adjust each wave's upward path every time you turn them on or off. In fact, they're the same size and dimensions as most standard wax candles, and it's a bit frustrating not being able to use the good old-fashioned method of simply dripping some hot wax into each individual holder (to basically hold each candle in place). place to glue). , but when you think about it, it's a pretty small price to pay for the set being perfectly safe from accidentally setting your house on fire! And for the price, I think these candles are a steal. Again, the biggest disappointment is the primitive (well, extremely low-tech) justification for the switch. Otherwise, I really love these LED Advent candles! Or. Maybe I just love Advent. And Christmas! Yes, indeed, yes! Oh thank goodness for Christmas! Either way, you really can't go wrong with these safe, affordable, long-lasting, and (almost) perfect flameless advent candles. I admit I had my doubts when I first bought the set, but now I have to admit that I really, really like them. And, hey, they sure aren't going to burn the house down if one or two actually come back on their own when there's no one else in the room! That's it.
