Did the candles ordered just before Christmas at the last minute because my old fairy lights has given up the ghost after 20years. The candles then came a few days before Christmas. Unfortunately, and this is also the reason for the star-hood, the Verpacktung for 8.90 shipping fee is worth nothing. Three of the candles were defective, a short e-mail to the seller but brought an immediate solution. Replacement candles were still on Christmas Eve in the mail. I hope the seller when the package rework. The candle itself, came clean with batteries, stored separately from the holders. Assembling required neither special nor Kenntnissse skills. Bottom of the candle unscrew, use battery, screw and place it on the holder. Meals are also served on the holder head flexible, because it allows orienting the tree. How to read for many, turning pro candle separately required, I can not confirm. All candles on the tree could be turned on with the remote control at the same time from about 2.5m distance. To burn time of candles with the batteries I can not say anything, but after a week with a daily burning period of at least 6 hours they still work. Much longer is the tree does not even most. The light is not quite as strong as my old candle lights chain of Osram, but the 20 candles on 2m-tree are sufficient and also give good light. Therefore fully sufficient and recommended by me.
