Luminara Flickering Flameless Pearl Ivory Tealights - Warm LED Light Flame Votives - Battery Operated Decor for Dining Room Table Centerpieces, Fireplace Mantel, Dinner Party, Reception - Set of 4

I received these next day. These were packaged well and came with batteries. I will admit, I was not going to buy these because they are expensive but a few of the reviews said they were the most realistic fake candles on the market. I was still debating back and forth on ordering them but because they were also on sale so I decided to order them. I am very pleased with the look of these! They light up and the flame moves back and forth like a real candle! I wouldn’t be able to tell these weren’t a real candle unless I got up really close. I can’t review quality yet because I’ve only had them a day. I will say they do look and feel like they are made well. I want to get more when they go on sale, maybe some taper ones. These do cost a lot but if they last several years, which I heard they do, then they will be worth the cost. I love them and the calming affect and how nice they look!

While the candles are really great the battery life is short. Modified the candles to connect an external power supply to them and now can really enjoy all the features such as programming on/off feature every day. No worries about running out of battery now.

Luminara taper and pillar candles are delightful. And though the tea lights are attractive at first, they rapidly disappoint. The timers turn off the candles but do not turn them back on. Battery life is a fraction of the advertised 50 hours. On the contrary, these little creatures have a voracious appetite for their button batteries, consuming them in about ten hours or less. My greatest disappointment was with Luminara product support. My initial email about ten days ago went unanswered, and I sent a follow-up after several days. The company has yet to respond. You would be hard-pressed to find a business that is more indifferent to its customers. I am returning the tea lights and will be cautious about purchasing any of their products in the future.UPDATE: Luminara customer service contacted me after this review was submitted but before it was posted, which is to say that my negative comments did not prompt their response. The suggestions provided by the representative to correct the issues with the tea lights were lengthy and could be beneficial, but I had already arranged for their return. Thus, I will modify my criticism of the product by saying that there are apparently measures that will improve its performance. I mainly wanted to absolve Luminara's customer service from my unfair portrayal of it as indifferent. If you need help with their products, they will try to help.

These arrived with batteries inside , and ready to turn on. The light is a good pale color, not amber/ orange like earlier versions, flickers well: handle with care as flame looks fragile .

I am using all four of these in some new candle holders I bought. These are the most realistic flameless candles. They are a little more expensive than others but the quality is much better than others. They also work well with a remote control that I already had if you don’t want to use the timer option. The timer option is also great though so you don’t have to turn them on and off manually. They really glow and flicker nicely and the size and neutral color is perfect. No worries of burning anything either like real candles.

UPDATE: After complaining to the company they agreed to either refund me or send me a new set of these candles. I chose to give them a second chance and asked for the new set. They work perfectly and i'm now very happy. The company was responsive and apologetic to my complaint so i am upgrading my review to 4 stars. (Still not 5 because there is a quality control issue- but the company is willing to work with the customer).These look beautiful when they're lit but the timer doesn't work at all. I ordered a set of 4 white tea-lights. One of them has a working timer but it emits a loud whining noise that drives everyone crazy so we can't use it. 2 of them stay lit for 5 hours, then turn off as they're supposed to- but then NEVER TURN ON AGAIN. That's it.. they don't come back on the next night. They just stay lit for 5 hours ONE evening and then they're done. And one of them stays lit for ONE hour, then turns off and never turns on again. I'm VERY disappointed as they were quite expensive. So if i want to use them i just have to turn them on, and then off, each night. I specifically wanted the timer function.

These tea lights are pretty awesome. They too have a timer

Beautiful lights. But they do not turn back on with the timer function. You have to turn them on yourself each time. They turn off by themselves but just don’t come back on. I have other Luminara candles and they all work great! These just don’t. I tried to contact the company but I’ve gotten no response. Very disappointed.
