I have these candles in the hallway, if you do not see the "flame", the light of the candle is deceptively real. Even the flicker is not a heck table spoons. The candles smell even. But you are not so bright, such as two candles that have previously set up from time to time. But I no longer need the candles supervise, turn a night and again in the evening from. I prefer a star off because the candle will not be operated as described in the product description with AAA batteries, but with slightly larger AA Batery (AA or R6).
