Flickering Flameless Candles

I received the Flickering Flameless Candles through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 5", 6", and 7" candles
• Remote control 
• Timer: 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours
• Brightness level options
• Static flickering light options
• Each candle takes 3 AAA batteries (Not included) 

The flameless candles are cute addition to decors in any room of the home or office.

Each of the three candles takes three AAA batteries. Although the flameless candle claims to be energy saving, it does take a quite a bit of batteries and energy to make these candles work. Having 9 AAA batteries around the house isn't something I always have available.

The candles are able to be turned off or set onto a timer. This helps limit the amount of time the candles are on and helps limit the amount of energy the candles use.

The candles provide a warm glow.

The "flame" portion of the candle did concern me. The plastic flame is very thin and seems flimsy. The flame is attached to a very thin shaft.

Air movement helps move the plastic flame to create the candle or flame appearance.

Although the flameless candle claims to be safe to use around children and pets, the plastic flame of the candle seems a bit too fragile to be used or left where children or pets can reach the candles.

The remote takes a CR2025 battery that can be changed if the original one that comes with the product dies.

The remote allows you to set the timers, turn on and off the candles, and change different settings. These settings include the brightness of the warm light and the speed of the movement for the flickering light.

Pros:

- Warm light

- Change brightness

- Adjust flickering light

- Timers

Cons:

- Takes 9 batteries for candles

- Plastic flame seems fragile 

- Wax gets dirty and collects pet hair or dust

LED Flameless Candle

I received the Flickering LED Flameless Candle Warm Light by KooPower through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Tealight candle
• Warm white light
• Steady illumination or flickering mode
• 3 AAA batteries 
• 2.4" x 2.4" x 2.4" 
• Cubes made out of clear acrylic 

I really like how this flameless LED candle looks and the box it came in. The candles were well protected in the box. The clear acrylic cube over the candle does give a crystal like appearance. It appearance can add an extra flare to decor styles. 

The candle takes 3 AAA batteries to run. The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the candle. The batteries fit in there very snug. I had to press down on some of the batteries to get them to fully snap into place. 

The switches on the candle are small. It wouldn't be easy to turn on for those who don't have as much hand strength or ability to move those little pegs. The batteries can be difficult to take out. 

There are two different modes to this candle. One is to have a steady, solid light the whole time. It's a warm, white glow. It's not very bright, but enough to help create the candle like appearance. The second mode is for flickering. The candle flickers as if the flame is moving. It's also not a very bright mode. 

I did notice that when my candle came, when ever I would flip it upside down when it was on, the candle light would shut off. It also sounded like there was a piece rattling inside of the candle. It still works when it's sitting upright.

Pros:

- Acrylic cube adds crystal like appearance 

- Warm white glow
- Steady or flickering modes

Cons:

- When tipped over, light turns off when it's on

- Sounds like there's something rattling on the inside

Wax Flameless CAndles

 

I received the Real Wax Battery-Powered Flameless Candles by Ohuhu through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Each candle takes 3 AAAs (not included)
• Remote control works up to 20 ft (battery for remote included)
• 2 Lighting modes
• 12 Different colors 
• Size of candles: 3", 4", and 5" 

The Ohuhu Wax Flameless Candles are very fun to use as decor pieces or to add a little light to a dark room or area. 

The candles feel like they're made out of wax, which they are. The feel of the candles is very slick and leaves a slight oily or wax type feeling on your hands when you touch them. The wax candles can get dirty easily. The sizes of the candle help give a variation in appearance and makes the candles look well if they are together or separated. 

The battery compartments are at the bottom of the candles. Each compartment was easy to open and close. The candles all took 3 AAA batteries each. That's a lot of batteries, which is probably my biggest issue or disappointment with the product. Most of the batteries go in fine. I had 2-3 of them that got stuck on the edge or spring that I had to push down more than the others. It made me slightly worried that I'd break the springs or battery compartment, but it held up well. Be careful when sitting down the candles. If they are knocked over or put down too heavily, the battery compartment does pop open. It's an easy fix. 

The on/off switch is also on the bottom of the candle. The switch is easy to turn on or off. If you switch on one candle, then hit the "multi-color" on the remote and wait a bit before turning on the next candle and hitting the same button, you're able to have each candle going at a separate color when it's changing. You can also make two the same and one different. It just depends on when you turn them on and hit the "multi color" button.

There's 12 different colors on the candles. These colors include red, green, navy blue, orange, lime, light blue, beige, sky blue, lilac, blue, light pink, and purple. The colors are fun and help create a mod or atmosphere. 

The remote includes 2 different color modes. Hitting the "mode" button allows you to switch between the modes. The modes include a solid color or a flashing candle. The flashing happens with a few quick flashes and then a slow one. It's not as quick as a strobe, so it's not as likely to give a headache if you watch the flashing candles too much. At times, one, two, or all three candles with be a flashing candle. To change it, just hit the "mode" button a few times. If you hit the "mode" button when the candle is on the dim side of the flashing candle, it will make the candle stay at that dim mode at a solid color, so you're able to change the brightness by clicking "mode" to turn the flashing candle on, and hit the "mode" button again to stop the candle on the desired brightness level. (Once you click multi-color, the brightness will go back to the default setting.) 

The candles also include a timer. There's a 4 and a 8 hour timers. It's great for nightlight for kids. The longer you have the candles on, the more energy it'll take to use them. 

The light in the candle is small. It doesn't really give off heat or get hot while it's on, even if the candle has been on for hours. 

Pros:

- Colorful

- Works with many decors

- Nightlight for children

- Light doesn't get warm

- Several modes and colors

Cons:

- Takes 9 batteries total

- Wax gets dirty easily
