Homemory Flameless LED Candles - Battery Operated Electric Candles with Remote & Timer, Frosted Plastic Fake Candles That Won't Melt (Ivory, Set of 9) - Perfect for Home Decor, Weddings, and Romantic Ambiance

I have a lot of experience dealing with battery operated lights and candles, often with less than satisfactory results. Maybe I was just super lucky this time, but this set of battery operated candles are the best I've ever purchased.Battery Life: I received and put batteries in these candles eight weeks ago and have run them on a 4-6 hour timer daily and they are still working. As we get towards what I assume must be nearing the end of the battery life I've had a few weird issues: For example, only one of the candles came on tonight (8 week mark). I assumed it was time to change the batteries but when I went to grab them, they were all on. I don't know what happened but I assume maybe the timer was slightly off on one of the candles and it came on early. A few weeks ago, around the 6 week mark, I also had one candle randomly not come on when the rest did, but when I picked it up and flipped it over to open the battery compartment, it came on and I haven't had any further issues with it. Timer remote is nothing special but is also still working just fine on the initial battery.Sturdy: They seem exceptionally durable for what they are, I admit I unintentionally abused them with some rough handling. These were set on a few small shelves that were adhered to the wall. Unfortunately, the adhesive failed and some of the candles fell quite a distance to the floor. One even broke open and the wiring was exposed, however, nothing must have been actually damaged because after I put it back together, it is still working just fine.Visuals: Flicker effect is good, light quality is good and while I originally had them running just to test them out, I think I'll probably leave them where they are as I really enjoy the look and effect. They aren't super realistic but they are pleasant. Note: When I had them all together before placing them on shelves, one candle was a slightly different color tone than the rest. Normally this kind of thing bothers me a bit but I definitely don't notice it in their current placement and don't consider it an issue.I can certainly see myself purchasing these candles again, I've had a really great experience with them.
