The lights are very attractive for decorating the windows during the Christmas holidays. They are very sturdy and have a clip to lock them into the windowsill.

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

These candles provide soft beautiful light in our windows at Christmas time. If I were to change anything, it would be to make them just a bit brighter. I also use them whenever we lose power. The batteries last far longer in these than in any other similar candle. Although I prefer the 3 candle style, I do have singles which I use in the garage, kitchen and bathrooms. Love the light sensor.

just what i was looking for this holiday

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

This is actually the second time I 've ordered these lights this season. The base is a gold colored plastic that looks elegent when viewed from outside the house. The lights go on at dusk and shine through the night with a nice glow. In fact it looked so nice that my Dad asked where he could buy 3 sets. Well I gave Dad my 3 sets and ordered more.

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

I like the convenience of never having to turn them on and off but they are so dim that they really don't enhance the outside of the house. Had to take them out of the windows and put my cheap plug-ins back in!!

With three new, active kittens, candles have been banished from our house. How nice to have the atmosphere without the danger, and they are heavy enough tehat they don't get knocked over easily.

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

I just bought 2 of these this year. Am very pleased with the flickering effect you can use. Naturally they aren't as bright as electric but still impressive. I wanted to cut back on the use of electrical outlets in the area I put them. I will certainly purchase more. I also bought 2 of the singles with same features, dusk to dawn and flickering if you like.

Plastic should be made more clear.......

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

Children can't lie.... My five year old exclaimed,
"WOW Mom, now it looks like we live in a haunted house." Not the look I was going for with these Christmas lights. I thought the 'flicker' mode helped a bit to tone down the color. On the other hand, the battery powered automatic shut on/off feature is great!

Outstanding value and quality product

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

This was a wonderful addition to my holiday light display- I bought an extra one after Christmas for next year's display. These add the right touch to my second floor windows that are hard to reach. They really do look like flickering candles and I won the HOA decoration contest this year so all in all these worked out great!

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

I use them for xmas decorations. They seem great so far - I 've had them about a month. The "light" looks good - it's a nice color but I wish it were brighter. Don't know if that's possible though.

Overall, it's a good product for a decent price assuming it lasts a few years.

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

No more messing with wires and light switches. The lights are bright and they look very nice. I purchased one of these for each of the front windows of my house. The batteries last a full 30 days with maximum brightness. After 30 days, the lights in the candelabra start to dim and the batteries should be replaced. Be sure to use Alkaline batteries for maximum usage.
A very worthwhile investment.

Comments about Battery-Operated Candelabra:

I use these in the windows at Christmas time and
they are easy and quick to put in place with no
cords to worry about! You do have to install
batterys each year and remove when storing, but
that is not a huge task. The light is not as
bright as the plug ins I was use to, but the
convenience is a good trade off.

One of the best and safest products.
