A lot smaller than I thought, but not horrid! You can switch between candle light and LED penetration of your soul light. Both are bright though. The one thing I found funny is that I had to walk around my tree like the paparazzi hitting the on and timer button because you have to be in front of the tree to do the action. Still not a negative for me. Most Americans can use some steps, so come on you Fig Newtons!!! Join me (your fellow big girl) and get yo life!
