I purchased these to place in 28 windows in my home for Christmas. I personally do not like flicker function, but you have choices with these, which is a plus. The brightness can also be adjusted. I have mine set on 6-hr. timer for the last two weeks at the brightest setting , and they continue to shine brightly. Great purchase!The light and flicker is nice. I would have given five stars except one of the candles doesn't work.Beautiful but complicated to make them work all togetherThe candles I received only sort of fit into the bases if I forced them, but they still fell out when I moved or touched them. The slow flicker is more like a strobe light. The remote only works if you are very close.I put batteries in these candles and none of them work. Very disappointed.Love them very bright ?...Is what it isNice candles. Flicker nice looks feature. Love that it has a timer makes it easy to turn them on and off.we have a covered porch with a large chandelier hanging, they fir very well there and I don't have to worry about wind blowing out candles, the remote is very useful too.Would not put them on the table as they don't look that real, but up high they look great. Didn't need to use the candleholders, they are useful if you want to hide the base with some kind of decorationsGreat product for priceWonderful in all aspects. Highly recommended.
