Review on πŸ•―οΈ TruGlow Ivory Wax Battery Operated LED Christmas Tree Candles - Pack of 20 with Remote Control and Tree Clips by Lights4fun, Inc. by Committed Schmidt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Realistic and high quality

I've been looking for good battery operated candles and they have been fantastic. They have real wax on the outside with sculpted teardrops on top which makes them look quite realistic. The wick and "flame" are good too, and the flickering is *very* subtle so not annoying, and not being able to turn the flickering off wasn't a problem. Super cheap plastic IR with 3 buttons: one to turn on, one to turn off and one to start a 6 hour timer (which the candles will then repeat on their own every 24 hours). I used the 6 hour timer feature and the AA batteries I used (eneloop brand) lasted about 3 weeks which seemed reasonable. Using AA alkaline or lithium batteries will certainly last longer, but rechargeable batteries are more efficient in the long run. The range was good, and I could target most of the candles at once as long as they weren't ten yards scattered. The candles are permanently attached to alligator clips but have a ball joint under the cup giving you more flexibility in mounting angle. It helped when I trimmed them into wreaths where the branches were sometimes slanting and helped them stand more upright than protruding. The clips have strong springs that help them hold up well. Overall I'm very happy with them and while they're definitely not the cheapest, having bought a pack of 20 at a lower price per candle, I've been able to use them in more places than I planned and it has ours Holiday warmed up.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
