Product Description

Enjoy the ambience of candle light that is flame-less, wax-less, and heatless! Each flickering candle in this set of 6 is the same size as a regular T-Light and sits in its frosted glass votive (4.25" x 2.25" in diameter). Charging is easy with the included adapter that plugs into the base. A great choice for mood lighting both indoors and outdoors. Last about 12 hours on a single charge.

Customer Reviews

Lifelike look but fairly dim4
Unlike the prior reviewer, everything was included in my package and it worked great right away. The flicker is very realistic, which is what I was looking for. The color is a bit on the orange side, but does not appear like a 1970's flickering orange light bulb. I'm not sure how long the candles will go on a charge, but we had them turned on for 12 hours and they were still going.

My only complaint is that these candles don't produce anything close to the light output of an actual candle. Granted, I don't think the intent of these candles is for light output, but rather the "mood" that candles create, and these do a great job of that.

poorly made yellow lights1
I purchased three sets of these to use during an indoor/outdoor party. I think rechargeable LED candles are a great idea, but these LED lights are made very poorly. There was at least one candle in every set that didn't work at all (a total of 4 candles from 3 sets that didn't work) and then a couple that keep very short lived charges and flicker out (within two hours) much sooner than the rest. I called and emailed Viatek with no response. After the third call, someone picked up the phone and said that they would send replacements. They never did, and a follow up call went unanswered as well. Also, the yellow light emitted by these candles is very yellow compared to a real candle flame, it isn't natural looking. If you plan to mix yellow LED candles (like these) with real candles, the difference will be glaringly obvious. Go for a -warm- white LED candle as opposed to the yellow LED candle (they do exist).

Great Idea! Poor Profuct.1
We have had problems with the base charging the candles. The base seems to have magnets that break loose and short out the electronics. Additionally in a very short period of time we have had one on the candles stop charging.
