The candles are okay - for this price you just can not expect the same what offer the more expensive candles. Toll is the Auspuste function. A little star I prefer anyway from in my review because at the large candle is different color. It is much brighter than the other two candles. No matter - which is decorated so that does not really stand. A slight clacking is audible - but I do not find it very disturbing. For the purpose, the candles - on a wooden tray decorated for Christmas - to provide to the window, you are exactly right.
