Great.

I'm very happy with the candles. Now I can celebrate Advent without having to worry about leaving candles burning.

Looks real!

I can't wait to use these battery operated candles for Advent. I also like the dripping wax effect.

Quality Battery Operated Advent Candles

I was looking for an alternative to real candles and decided to buy these battery operated ones. They fit in my advent wreath perfectly and, most of the time, a simple twist of the candle would turn it on and off. I rarely had to take the candle out of the wreath to turn it on and off. The light "flickers", which is a nice touch to these faux candles. The candles have a little bit of a waxy feel and they have a burnt wax look at the top of each candle. I was very happy to use these candles this past advent season. I took the batteries out to store the candles and will put fresh batteries in next year. The only negative is that the candles are all the same height. This is no minor, though. I am very happy with this purchase and I am very happy that I bought this product from this company.

Good candle set

I previously purchased a battery-powered Advent candle set from another source. It failed miserably on the first use. These candles from Catholic Supply of St. Louis, Inc. are great so far. Getting ready to start the third week of Advent & the candles are performing wonderfully. They are very realistic in looks & feel compared to a real wax candle. Obviously, the "flame" cannot compare to a real candle but these are very acceptable with a flickering action.
So far I have only two cons to report which are minor: (1) The base of the candle is just a bit smaller than the holder on my Advent wreath. A couple of wraps of tape around the candle base solved that problem. It now is a good snug fit & instead of removing the candle from the holder to turn it on & off, I can simply give the candle a slight turn to turn it on or off; (2) The base & the body of the of the candles are plastic & the base screws onto the body. The threads are very dry & the base was a little hard to screw on. A light touch of lubricant such as vegetable oil or silicone grease made this much easier.
None of these two cons would prevent me from recommending this candle set. It is so realistic looking that it is hard to distinguish the candles from real wax ones...even showing the "dripping" wax. So far I am satisfied with this product.
