With the push of a button, enjoy the glow of candlelight without potential wax spills, burnt down wicks, or fire danger with this remote control-operated set of three flameless pillar candles from the Gerson Company. The set’s candles vary in height, with candles standing at 4 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches high. However, the pillar candles all span 3 inches in diameter. For genuine appearance, the candles are crafted in hand-poured ivory wax. Uneven scalloped edges circle around each candle’s brim as if melted away by the candle’s flame. The pillars’ infrared LED lights flicker just like real firelight, but are safe for use around children, pets, greenery, and other flammable decorations. With the remote control’s range of 20 feet, users can place the candles in hard-to-reach, elevated locations, like in a hanging lantern or chandelier, or on top of a tall bookcase. The remote control can be employed to control a combination of several candle sets. For the best success, however, use the candles in a television-free room as the TV remote control may interfere with candle operation. The scent- and smoke- free candles run on the power of three included AAA batteries. Upon shipping, the candle set measures 9 by 3 by 6 inches and weighs 2 pounds.

I bought four sets of these flameless candles (one set for each side of our fireplace mantle, and one set for each side of our dresser).
Each set includes the batteries for each candle (three AAA's per candle), and the button battery for the remote. They are shipped with thin plastic tabs protruding out of the battery compartments of the candles and the remote to keep them from activating while being shipped. Just pull out each of the tabs (you don't need to open the battery compartments to pull them out), flip the switch on the bottom of each candle to the "ON" position, and the candles light; they can now be operated via the remote. (One remote will operate more than one set of candles that is in range of the remote.) (The instructions say that if the candles won't be turned on via the remote for more than a week, it is recommended that--since they do use the batteries a little when the switch is in the "ON" position--that they be switched to the "OFF" position.)
I bought these for their safety, decorative appeal, and to use when we have a power outage (which, ironically, happened two days before these arrived).
Safety: I enjoy candles, but have not burned any since an acquaintance of ours tragically died after she received full body burns when the robe she was wearing caught fire from her burning candle. These flameless candles provide the ambience of candles without the risk of fire.
Practical: The soft glow of these candles make them ideal to use in the middle of the night when you want just enough light to navigate a short distance (e.g., walking to the bathroom) without turning on a bright light that hurts your eyes, and causes you to become more fully awake, making it harder to go back to sleep. And, as mentioned above, these will be used when we have another power outage. (I'll buy some extra long life AAA batteries to have on hand to re-supply the candles in case we need to have them on for a long time.)
Beauty: They have an authentic waxy candle feel to them. They each have a soft glow, and the lights flicker randomly just like a real fire lit candle. I enjoy sitting with a cup of decaf in the evening and relaxing while watching their flickering glow; it is calming and soothing, and is an inexpensive way I can pamper myself after a long day.

These are great. Look like real candles and can go in places you can't get to easily with the neat remote. Used for 2 weeks every night through the Cmas season and the batteries are still good, that's impressive to me. I expected to have to replace them. Very happy with this product.

I come from a firefighting family, so have always avoided unnecessary candles as much as I love them. Now I have candles everywhere, hooray! And firefighter-approved!
I've bought other brands of flameless candles before, but found them weakly lit, and short-lived for their little watch batteries.
But these are different. They're made of real wax rather than plastic, and they smell faintly of vanilla (nice touch). The're powered by AAA batteries, which means they last much longer than more some of the more expensive candles with battery-watch powered versions you find elsewhere.
The flicker rate is also much more pleasant on these than on, say, the ones sold at ThinkGeek. ThinkGeek's flash much more harshly...like, headache-inducing harsh. These Gerson candles are far, far more mellow and realistic in their flicker. Relaxing to watch.
And lastly, the remote control is a laugh riot! Surprise your significant other when he/she comes home to a dark house and then WHOOSH...candles everywhere, and you haven't moved an inch. Spooky. :) (It's also nice at the end of an evening to just click 'em all out, rather than having to make sure all the candles are safely out and fireproof.)

No Remote
I ordered two (at $35 each). Both boxes came without a remote. The candles seem to turn on and off OK.

Flameless candle with remote
I am very happy with the flameless candles. The remote is great so you don't have to pick them up to turn them on. They look very real.

Very nice but doesn't smell like vanilla
These are so natural looking, they are so convenient to turn on and off, and safe. The only complaint is that they don't smell like anything. Read more
