Just the thought of attaching the chain of lights made me years before you cringe, to have their own Christmas tree. AND ... we are thrilled! The candles are super easy to assemble, no complicated programming with the remote control, re-placement of the candles in an instant - everything can be explained almost by itself And most important:. Finally no ugly cable more! The packaging allows for quick and easy clean up and store until next year. As for the consumption of the batteries, so I can tell in the coming year as the only correct. The candle are pretty small and have a pleasant warm light, also they can be balancing carefully a living hinge on each branch. A strong buy recommendation from my side! Tip: The basic set is probably something for the very young sapling in a pot. For everything is larger one needs at least one additional set -. For large trees even sure 2!
