We used real beeswax candles for Christmas lighting for decades. So I was very critical to use electric lighting. From KRINNER lighting but I am excited. + The mini-candles look good and light well, fortunately not too bright, + You have the right size and can be positioned everywhere in the tree also inside. + You can turn on the lighting often as dangerous and not like real candles permanent supervision and presence of the tree is necessary. + The air in the room remains well, since there is no combustion and no oxygen is consumed. - The light of illumination is of course not as charming and warm as in real candles. It would be nice if the light would somewhat yellowish, but it is not cold. - It is also missing the smell of beeswax, the lighting of course can not have. Conclusion: For a tree of about 1.80 m height, you need a basic set and a Erweiterunggsset. I will in future only the KRINNER lighting attach to the tree, as I have now illuminates the tree several hours every day, so what did not work with real wax candles. So I have more joy of Christmas. To miss the smell of beeswax not quite, I present a real beeswax candle on the table. For lighting I bought to replace the batteries Batteries.
