Review on Enhanced Rechargeable Tea Lights: Set of 6 LED Flameless Christmas Candles with Remote Timer and Charging Holder - Perfect for Outdoor, Halloween, and Pumpkin Light Decorations by Jon Hill

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Slim body on candles but last

Charge lasts 3 nights with 5 hours usage per night. It's better than my rechargeable lithium ion batteries (Type LIR2032) that I bought for other women's vows. Having received some of the larger rechargeable button cell batteries (LIR2450) that I had purchased, this packaging had a large disclaimer printed on it. It states that these types of batteries have a memory effect and must be fully charged before use. This memory effect sets the full charge point to the point where they were at the beginning of use until they were empty. From now on it will only charge up to this point. If all coin cell batteries have this problem, then this is most likely why mine others (and other people's batteries) aren't lasting as long as they should. I took the remaining batteries out of the packaging and straight into her candles as it was night time and she wanted to use them as soon as possible. Because of this, I made sure to fully charge these rechargeable candles before using them. I can update once I see how many nights we can get without a single charge. Now for the bad; Flickering effect and thin walls of these candles. The flickering isn't random enough and the slowest setting is too fast for a realistic effect. I've posted a video of them flickering for you to judge (this is the slowest flicker setting). Another thing is that they all flicker in the same way. Now if you separate one of them one by one from the others and turn on the flicker, there's a good chance it will flicker differently than the others. Do this with 3 out of 6 and it might look more random if they are all grouped together. I don't like doing this as we all buy our remote controlled LED candles so we can just set them up and turn them on or let them turn on by themselves with their own timer. Although, as I said, we'll leave them as is, in a dark corner around the base of our metal tree trunk base for our side table. There's no way we're going to use them in front of everyone, especially in the next version. The walls are very thin and wires are visible inside the candle. It really detracts from the natural look of the wax candle this set is based on (and the look we want). This is our first plastic set as all the others are real wax candles with LEDs. All candles have this and you can see it clearly in the picture. The wires are also directly opposite on two sides, so you can't attach the bad side to a wall or anything to hide it. I will say that they are not visible at certain angles when your wires are looking left and right. In the corner next to the sofa, if you cannot pass and see several sides, it can be hidden. Because of this, they definitely cannot/will not stand in the more open areas of our living room. If it wasn't for that little corner to put them there, they would come back. I like the charging dock and the ability to put it there to charge, but they are difficult to remove. It's not that the woman can't do it, she can with no problem, but you have to hold the charging station and pull hard. I'm pretty sure it's the contacts on the bottom of this charging rod that actually plug into the bottom of the candle.

Pros

Cons
  • Power outlet required
