We offered them to me just before Halloween. The kids loved the whole "magic" remote. The batteries were supplied. It was enough to pull the safety tab. I kept transparent cylindrical protection around the candles to avoid the wax sabîme. We have installed them in decorative lanterns. Very realistic effect. a lovely soft light. Their size is not ridiculous: 15/12/10 cm in height respectively 7cm diameter ... cheaper in the end than real candles that melt fast enough my faith. It reissue decoration for Christmas without hesitation. Everything works perfectly. Delivery was on time. RAS currently. We will see for the life of the batteries.
