Got the candles (2x6St.) For a candlestick ordered on the cabinet top, So hard to reach, so a remote control would be handy. On the first day the candles were still burning bright (about 2 hours in operation) on the second day already clearly no less light, then four days using only standby mode. Then went not even a candle. The standby mode had used all batteries. It is not the purpose of a remote control that you have to put on the candles always off.
