Have wanted a nice set of flameless candles for awhile and saw these at a good price. Like that they have the feel of waxy candles and a melted look to them instead of perfect cylinders of various sizes.  The flickering of the candlelight is by a plastic shaped flame that toggles back and forth when lit.  If you turn the candles so the light and flame are partially hidden, it looks pretty realistic. If you turn the flame towards you not so much. Still, good price for the three, and the easy to use remote is convenient. We didn't want open flames around the house for safety reasons, but these give a nice glow that comes pretty close.
