We bought these Oxo Candela Glow sets for our kids' rooms.

The concept is great: a soft light that is easy to move around a room, stays lit all night, and is rechargeable saving you $ on batteries. We loved these at first exactly for those reasons but quickly became disappointed in the product.

First the pros:
- Rechargable batteries *should* make it cost effective in the long run
- Soft warm yellow glow that illuminates a small area very similar to a candle
- Does not heat up
- The company provides excellent customer support

Cons:
- The rechargable batteries do not hold a charge for very long. 50% of the batteries in our products held a charge for about 2 hours after about 1 months worth of use only at night. We followed the product instructions to the letter.
- Replacement batteries are apparently failing now as well after about 2 months worth of use since about 75% of the products don't hold a charge for more than 2 hours now.

We contacted the makers of Oxo Candela Glow Lights who were very polite and sent us replacement batteries at no cost and with no argument after the first battery failures. While I really appreciate good customer service it just can't make up for a poor product because sadly within another couple months we have more lights not holding a charge for very long. I may call the manufacturer again for replacement batteries but its aggravating to have to do it and I doubt they will send us replacement batteries indefinitely.

I would not recommend this product.

Despite the negative review posted about this product only lasting 3 months, we have several of these that are still going after one year!
A great substitute for open flame candles to create mood lighting in any room. Especially useful during power outages, in our rural community. The Candela lights come on automatically when the power goes out. Then they are portable and much safer than carrying candles around a dark house. We have found the light stays on for up to 8 hours before needing to be recharged. Another great product from OXO.

I purchased these for camping and they never made it out to camp. I fell in love with them for home! I use mine to read with in bed so I don't disturb my husband. It works great to read by, and comes in handy to get up and walk around the house without turning lights on at night! It's great! Plus I always have one in the charger, so I never have to search for battery charged reading light!

I loved these so much that I bought them for all my relatives. They're perfect for people who live in areas where the power goes out from electrical storms or snow because as soon as the power goes out, these things light up so you can find them. Love them! I even bought the kids versions for my daughter. They make great nightlights. They come in different colors and cute shapes for kids. And they can put them wherever they want. Right next to bed, in their "forts", and they're great for their friends that sleep over.

I can't say enough great things about these lights.
