Review on Prextex Set of 4 Brass Plated Christmas Window Candle Electric Lights with Automatic On/Off Sensor for Dusk to Dawn Illumination by Brent Mosley

I've been using electric window candles for decades but am tired of having to turn them on and off in eight windows. I was also concerned about the heat from the lightbulbs. A few years ago I switched to battery operated LED candles which lasted about 6 hours. While convenient, the light emitted was an ugly orange color and as the battery drained the bulbs flickered and each candle looked a little different. These electric candles are near perfection. The color of the light emitted is difficult to describe, but it is a bright golden white, a subtle but not so noticeable orange. The design of the candle and the base is very simple and goes well with any decor. Lightbulbs don't get hot. Just light each candle and they get bright and beautiful at dusk and glow until dawn, around 12 noon for me, longer when the morning is overcast. They give off a bright light in the house so I turn them off in my bedroom windows. With dark curtains, this is probably not a problem. Problems with these lamps are associated with their stabilization on the windowsills. They are very light and the cable is initially stiff. I have plantation blinds with narrow window sills, but the solution was to use blue painters tape to tape the base of the candle to the window frame to keep the candle upright and stable. I then ran the cord through the bottom bar of the clasp. Of course, this means that the blinds do not close completely. However, I don't see the gap as a problem. All in all these are great window candles, elegant and easy to use. If they had a weighted base they would be perfect.
