The candles came despite Verdi strike on after 2 days. The candles are in a state 1A. The restriction is set at the product description. All LED candles branded SOMPEX I have a real wax coating, the stick candles in red. These white here but are without wax. However, the topic is wax nothing in the product description, so that may be the seller made no real complaint. And at 3 meters distance one sees no longer. The batteries went in with difficulty, I let myself be surprised at Rausholen ... On the whole, a great product
