I bought 4 of these for my wife. She loves Christmas, and decorating for the holidays. 2 worked fine, and 2 would not work at all on white light setting. they did all work on yellow light setting. Not the quality I expected.

I was a bit worried from the one negative review on ordering these candles. I purchased 8 for the holiday season a few weeks ago. All 8 work just fine with AAA rechargeable Eveready or Duracell alkaline.

In addition, the base is heavy giving the candle a sturdy feel. None of the cats have managed to knock one of these off the window sill (yet).

We also like the ability to select either white light or the flickering yellow. Lets one change their appearance based on mood and location.

These are higher priced but so far seem to be worth the money.

The candles themselves are a nice heavy weight and beautiful. The fact that they lasted the equivalent of 72 hours lit was not so great. Each candle uses three double "a" batteries. I assumed because they were "led" candles they would stay lit a very long time. I returned them with no problems at all.

Thank goodness I only paid $4.57 each for these at another online site. They are made in China and cheap. The metal base is stable but my bulb covers are all crooked. The flicker setting is way too orange, dull and you can barely see a flicker. I will re post how long the batteries last.

I have a partially paralized hand and have a hard time holding a flash light. I bought this candle as a decorative item for my bedroom fireplace mantle but discovered that I could wrap my fingers around it with ease and not drop it. The white light is bright enough to move around at night. It will also be useful during a power failure. This would be a great addition to a bedroom night stand.

Candles are great value. Sturdy, well made lights with option of flicker or steady bulbs.

Nice effect with no wires. They were nice in the window for Christmas and now I like them on the mantel. A month later they're still burning on the same batteries, although I don't use them everyday.

I bought 7 of these for all of my windows. They are so warm and inviting with the flicker amber setting on. It's my favorite new holiday decor purchase this year. I love them!!!!

The candle and base are nice and sturdy, unfortunately the bulb is not bright.
Batteries are expensive as each candle takes 3 "C" batteries.
The bulbs have not lasted a month before they are too dim to be seen.
An expensive buy all around.

One candle worked ok, the other hardly at all. I purchased similar items at Walgreen's for a fraction of the price and they worked beautifully.
