The candles are as already described in the product information of wax and have outside drops to make them look real. Overall, they are processed and the flickering of the LED lights looks good. The candles flickering very evenly but if all three are placed together makes the whole a good impression. The remote control works well and is really very useful. Candles to switch on and off from a distance with a remote control is really a funny thing;) I can buy for someone recommend the fun gadgetry has and wants to have LED candles instead of real candles.
