20Pcs Flameless Taper Floating Candles with Wand, Halloween Decor

I thought I had reviewed this as after taping them up on the ceiling, my eyes popped out when I saw the effect! Different-height, floating candles, flickering, warm yellow candle-like appearance... SOOOO Harry Potter-esque, fabulous! So here's the official review. Very thin, but strong wire - I think it's a PVC/or nylon thread that's securely attached to the tips of the candles. Even with batteries, they held perfectly! We went with white gaffer's tape. Check out the photos... virtually invisible! I did NOT cut any of the thread... rather I'd gather it up, and tape the thread to the piece of gaffer's tape, then tape the whole thing to the ceiling. Battery life: not bad... couple of evening's, going for a solid 4-6 hours, using Amazon Basic's AA rechargeables. NOTE: the wand... it self-drains. I'm not sure why. After about 12 hours, it's dead. Not a bid deal..again because I use rechargeable batteries, but it was a bit annoying. When the candles' batteries are out of power, they begin flashing - short burst every several seconds. This ..can wake you up! Hah! Not a big deal.. just removed the battery and dealt with it the next day. Of course, they all kinda die at the same time, so one would go, then another, etc. It was useful to give me an idea of battery life, and to know which candle needed to be replaced. I replaced batteries while they were mid-air! LIFT the candle so as not to be weight on it, then you may need to shake the candle to get the battery out - rechargeable batteries are a bit larger in size than normal ones. I didn't try my much better Tenergy AA batteries, but..for this purpose, it's fine. I had 20 candles floating for about a month or so... and guests LOVED them! It's over... now you have to put them away. Ugh. That long, nylon thread curls and tangles easily. It's the right thread to use, so.. even if I did it myself, I'd have used something similar, and had the same issues. So I figured out a system, and perhaps this will be useful to you: - leave about 2" of thread at the tip, and begin rolling the thread around 2 or 3 fingers - see my photos - hold the circle of thread together, then twist it into a figure 8 - THEN you can use the tiny supplied twist ties, or make your own by cutting down normal ones - You can stack them inside the box... use the cardboard to cover the tops of one set because the thread will want to "pop" out I was amazed that I got it done, and being able to put these things away for next year was the main reason I'm reviewing this, giving it a good score, and hoping others won't get frustrated with the potential mess. These things are amazing...and create a very cool effect! NOTE: to turn them on, you MAY have to direct the wand higher... ABOVE the tips. That seemed to set them all ON in one push. OR..just keep holding the wand. Many reported the wand not working at all. Well, it's infrared, I think, and it works as line of sight, so... you may need to click a few times. But if you say the right magic words, "LUMOS MAXIMA," that should do the trick. lol! I did not use the timer function with the lights - didn't know there was one until I saw it on the review. Could be useful, but...since these die-off in 2-3 days' worth of lighting, I'd rather control it myself. Be patient.. make sure the tape holds - we had one fall, and it makes... a loud sound when hitting the floor, but it DID NOT BREAK. Otherwise, all 19 other candles stayed up for a solid month using white gaffer's tape. CAREFUL not to put too much gaffer's on a ceiling..you can and will pull paint off! Even our Scotch Magic tape pulls some paint off once in a while. It's the price you pay for decorating!

I of course saw something similar on a tiktok video and immediately had to find them.... not disappointed even a little. These are cheaper than the ones I originally saw and they are great! The Product: They don't come with batteries but they do come with the fishing string already attached to each, and a good 4.5ft of it at least (the listing says 4.9ft), so it was suuuper easy to get them hung up. The candles are white plastic and the bottoms screw on. Usually I see issues with the threading but these are great and snug. I used the small plastic command hooks to hang them from my porch ceiling and it's perfect. Lighting: They give off the perfect amount of ambient light while they flicker and they look pretty realistic too. The wand is the best part though! It's got two small buttons on the lower end where you hold it and everyone (kids and adults alike) love flicking it around to turn them all on and off🤣 Battery life: As of right now they've probably had a total of 20ish hours of use (2-3hrs a day) and I use Amazon basics AAAs in them. Currently all going strong. Dislikes: There's no timer function on these like other battery/ remote operated candles I have and I really wish there was. Overall: You'll love them. Halloween... A Harry Potter themed party... or just because you wanna feel magical, these are a fun addition to the decor!

Amazing! My kids love Harry Potter series and wanted a themed room. These are so fun with the wand. Huge win!! Just remember to buy 13 AAA batteries too.

I am very happy with the floating candles. The clear strings were a bit of a hassle to detangle, and I ended up cutting most of them bc they are so long. The suction hooks they came with are sturdy and they have not fallen. The wand is a sturdy plastic. I did have trouble with the battery when I first took it out of the box. I added a brand new battery and the wand wouldn’t turn on. After shaking the wand multiple times, I guess the battery finally settled where it needed to in the wand and it turned on. I do have to shake it from time to time to get the on button to work. I wish the wand was rechargeable instead of battery operated. Overall, it’s a great addition to holiday decorations.

Great size! Nice quality. Slower more natural flicker. A bit on the oranger side of color and brightness

Things you need to know it takes one AAA battery for every single candle and wand. So if you buy a pack, it should be fine. I’ve had them on for a week now. I haven’t had to change the battery for any of the candles or wand. If for whatever reason, your wand or your candle is not turning on, make sure it is tightly fastened . The white tacks They supply you with do not work so you might just skip it and use a little circular sticky things they supply with. You just need to tie the string into a knot twice for it to stay at the length that you want it to be. I was able to remove them and stick them without messing up my paint on my ceiling. But just to be safe when taking it down, please apply some heat with like a blow dryer. My walls have a gloss finish. It is meant to be able to just wipe messes off, but if your wall doesn’t, it will probably take the paint off. It supplies a great deal of light so you don’t need to have a secondary light on. It still gives a cool effect. The size of the candles are significant where you can clearly see that they are candles. And it is sturdy enough to handle wind. And I feel like this is a versatile purchase. I’m going to use them all the way up until Christmas. I bought two packs, but I only really needed one so if you really want these, please buy them

These are cool, but unfortunately some of them will not turn off even while using the wand. Once you put the two AA batteries in, the bottom portion is difficult to tighten. Just a little extra effort, but they’re cool.

These are absolutely amazing!!!

These are so fun! Some people commented that the candles don't turn on/off at the same time, but we figured out that you can "wave" the wand and they will turn on/off as the wand passes each candle (point the wand at the floor and hold the "on" button down to start). In my opinion that feature definitely lends itself to the believability of the magic of Halloween (or whatever event you're using these for). Good quality. Strings come already attached, and each one is secured around the base with tape to prevent tangling. Overall, very happy.

I waited a while to write this review as I wanted to be sure that they would last. We have used them for two Halloween seasons now and are completely happy with them! They look great, the remote works perfectly and is super cute too. Highly recommend, especially if you can get them on sale!

Faulty! The wand doesn't switch on the candles or switch it off well. Once switched on, it cannot be off.

First we tried to hang the candles with Command hooks and they fell immediately. Next up, Gorilla tape which stayed up for about an hour. The bottoms covers of the candles are cheap and don't go on or come off well. Save yourself some grief, and get the smaller ones. So disappointed.

Me encantaron. Fáciles de colocar, el control en la varita es perfecto para ese toque mágico. Valen en verdad la pena.
