I gave these flame less candles three stars just because the battery requirements was a little aggravating. I had to purchase C batteries for two of the candles and double A’s for the third. The remote comes with a battery which was a welcomed relief. Also, the top of the candles have a small chip in them, but once turned on you don’t really notice it much. I’m going to purchase a decorative dish to put them on together and that should make the battery fiasco seem less crazy.
