I purchased a set for myself, then went back and ordered a second set to sendsend as a gift. If you put them in a glass holder that is clear, they have a real flicker but overall look obviously fake...you need to put them in an opaque type glass holder, and then the adjustable brightness and mode...solid, flicker, slow flicker, etc., is beautiful and looks real. I live in an apartmentwhere candles are not permitted, but flameless is my choice anyway. These are the safest choice for candlelight. The price is simply excellent! I put one behind framed photos on a bookshelf, for a pretty backlighting glow. I use them in tealightI lanterns. And I use them as nightlights as well, with the remote. The remote give so many mode and brightness options, and is very responsive from a good distance. The charge lasts all night long without dimming if I leave them on. I haven't timed a full charge life by letting one run completely down. The savings...by not having to purchase batteries, quickly make these pay for themselves. Literally priceless. They are solid and very well made. I'll purchase more.
