LampLustChristmas Window Candles with Gold Holders - 8 Pack, Suction Cups, Remote & Batteries Included, Flickering LED Lights, 4/8 Hour Timer, Flameless Christmas Candles for Holiday Window Decor

While I don't usually take the time to write reviews, I did want to help others in making their decision when looking for LED Flameless Taper Candles, as there is so many brands and styles available, this time of year. TIP: Know your product when comparing to others - this package of (8) candles ALREADY COME WITH 2 AA Batteries AND a quality suction cup with a clamp, to attach to window. Candles are shipped in nice sturdy reusable box. Candles are packed in thin plastic tray but NEATLY held each candle in it's place (so they are not banging around in your box) with the suction cups and remote control in their own compartment as well. remote control was inside a cellophane wrapper and also came with a battery. remote control and candles each had a plastic tab to remove, (this activates the batteries and prolongs shelf life.) the candle light is plastic and screws into the candle stick (unscrew it to remove the plastic red tab). the on and off switch is on the bottom of the candle. the base, while gold colored plastic, is nice quality with protective felt bottom and they STAND UP STRAIGHT! there is a nice weight to the candlestick, not hollow plastic that would easily fall over. though hard to see in my photo, the clamp actually screws into the suction cup and is a solid little gadget to attach to your windows, if you choose this option. suction cups were quality and not cheap - they were soft and none of them were bent, warped or flawed. One sheet of nicely prepared instructions, both sides are easy to read on quality paper. after removing each tab, turned switch to "on" position, pushed candle into the base and clicked "on" with remote. 7 lit up, one did not. I tried to unscrew and wiggle battery, twice, still no power. replaced the batteries with two new AA and the light turned on. The remote control has two timer options, 4 hour or 8 hour, and I especially like the "flicker" option for the electric flame. After placing in my window, they really do look like real flames that flicker. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and will purchase a second set. So if you're concerned about the cost, don't be. shipped on time, arrived in great shape, a quality product that includes batteries, suction cups and clamps as well as a nice box to store candles in if you choose to pack away after Christmas. I like mine so much, I may leave them up all year! I hope you find my review and photos helpful. Let your light shine!

Here is my experience having bought 3 packs of 8 of these candles so far:1. Setup is pretty easy. You have to unscrew the top, consisting of the "flame" and the threaded plug it's attached to, and remove the red plastic that keeps the battery out of contact during shipping.2. When screwing the top back on, be sure to get it fully seated or the candle won't function. At first I thought many were dead because of this.3. Ensure that the slide on-off switch is set to be on. This is located on the bottom of the candlestick -- if the candlestick is inserted into its base, you'll have to pull the candle out of the base to see it. If you look very closely under a bright light, you'll see that one direction is marked "0" (meaning off) with an arrow, and the other direction is marked "1" (meaning on) with an arrow in the opposite direction.4. If you want them to automatically cycle, gather them all together in one place (the range on the remote is *very* short, like 6" in some cases). At the time you want them to switch ON each day, press the ON button on the remote, then the mode button (flicker or steady), then the time button. For instance, I wanted mine to turn on at 4 pm each day, then off at midnight, so I pressed "ON", "Steady", and then "8H". At each key press, watch for all the candles to blink once indicating the command had been received -- repeat the same command if not all of them blink, holding the remote closer to the offender(s).5. Now distribute the candles to their final locations. They will automatically turn off after the programmed time (e.g., 8 hours), and then turn back on the next day at the same time you initially programmed them. That's it.Pros and Cons:- First, these are magic. If I had been found with one a few hundred years ago, they'd have hanged me for witchcraft. Honestly, a programmable candle with wireless remote for less than $6 each. I find it hard to complain about that.- They aren't the brightest light in the world, but in the right context they look pretty good. The light color is about right (matches incandescent light pretty well). I didn't use the flicker mode because it made them a bit dimmer on average.- Out of 24 purchased, two of them would not communicate with the remote -- they are always on in flicker mode. Two others were dead and resisted all attempts to revive them. I didn't want to hassle with a return, so I'll live with that since I have enough candles for now.- There's a small amount of timing drift, which means after a few days you may see the candles turning on/off at slightly differing times. You can live with it (like I do) or gather them all together and reprogram them again to improve their synchronization.All in all, I like them for my 250-year-old house. They seem to fit (except for the witchcraft thing).

work great, very convenient... I even ordered another set to fill all of my windows and get rid of the ones that plug in.

Exactly as described, work and look great!

Look quite lovely and flicker. Great in my windows at home.

So far so good, as advertised
