Review on Vinkor Flameless Candles Led Candles Set Of 9(H 4&#34 by Robert Correa

We have purchased this set and two other sets of remote controlled battery operated candles and in my opinion these are the best we have tried. We only use them for decorative indoor use, not for everyday use. I would say this is NOT a weatherproof kit so keep that in mind. As for the functions of the remote controls, I like the "candle" or "backlight" functions, which make them either flicker like a real "candle" or have a constant glow for "light". Haven't tried the timer features but I see it as a positive so it was nice to have 4 time duration options to choose from. The ability to increase or decrease the brightness is also handy, and 2 remote controls are included. So if you break the rig up and want to use it in different locations, no need to move the remote between locations if you're like me means less chance of losing remotes. The candles themselves smell nice like wax, but the moving part of the "flame" is the best part of these candles to me. The flame is like a thin piece of plastic(?) but moves as the candle burns. The way the item moves really does look like real flame movement and when locked in a lantern or on a shelf the reflection above the candle looks very pretty without having to worry about that something might catch fire! (Big bonus in my book!) The only "minus" I see with this set, if you will call it that, is the batteries. Each candle requires 2 AA batteries, so you need 18 batteries for all candles to work. It would be nice if the kit included batteries (batteries not included) but I suspect the price would be higher if they did. Again, it's not too bad, but it would be nice to have more. All in all I highly recommend these candles especially when you will see a candle and a flame. If you're going to put them in a colored vase or whatever where you're using them for highlighting then some other sets are fine for that, but these are really good if you can see the top of the candle and the 'flame' . I didn't have a sentence long enough to say how long a new set of batteries will last in candles or how they hold up over time, but I hope they seem really good. If we decide we need more, we will definitely buy them again.
