Thread: Has anyone used one of these flameless candles?

Tweet

I have been looking for some flamless candles on ebay because I am needing a bunch of them. I found 2 different ones I am looking at, but I don't know how bright they are. Does anyone bought from one of these, or are your candles the same as these?

FLICKERING FLAMELESS LED Tea Light - SET OF 72


72 FLICKERING LIGHT FLAMELESS LED TEALIGHT TEA CANDLES

They look the same in the pictures, but one says they last 40 hours, the other says 120. I am not too worried about that because I plan on joing groups of them and either using d batteries, or something that is 3v so I don't have to change batteries out every year. I am not expecting them to light up the whole yard, I am just not wanting anything that won't give off any light at all.

I have used candles like these, and they didn't give off too much light. They do give off a little bit, so a big grouping of them close together might give a nice eerie glow to something that's very close to them, but I wouldn't count on them as a real light source.

I got these:

They worked well for what I needed them for.

I bought some long taper candles from them last year and they were great.

Good luck!

These things started showing up everywhere last year. Most drug stores have them, and there were even Halloween-themed candles (black and orange) available last year.

They look great but I wouldn't count on them lighting other stuff up much. You might want to hide a small flickering spotlight in the group, if you wanted candles under a statue or a similar effect, and have the flickering spot actually light up the scene.

Around here most use them in there pvc candels do a search and you will find many threads.

P.s I used them pictures are in my album in last years cemetery pics.I placed the candle in front of tombstones.

I got mine from the dollar store, worked well with no complaints. a pair of lights for a buck. And I think if you bought a case online they were half off or something last fall, but not sure. Those on that ebay page seem the same as what was at the dollar store.
