Leejec Floating Candles with Magic Wand Remote(6/18H Timer), 12pcs 6.1" Hanging Flameless Taper Candles, Battery Operated Flickering Warm Light, Halloween Christmas Gift, Wedding Party Decor (Ivory)

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" outI 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!

Ugh - these lights!! These were such a cute touch for the holidays, but I kept them up for several months afterwards! The light is dim but still substantial and creates a warm glow. The floating effect is so much fun and really makes you feel like you've got a touch of Hogwarts at home! They definitely need something strong to hang from; as light as they are, when you add a battery, even strong tape won't suffice. I took them down upon moving, but when I rehang them this year in my new place, I'll be using the clear sticky tack/putty dots. I also chose not to cut too much off the string and kept some wrapped up so I could adjust the lengths in the future if I needed to. And the WAND??? 12/10, so much fun. The battery life also lasted a LONG time - at least three months and they were on daily for 2-4 hours. The wand also never died. I'll change the batteries this year before hanging, but, truly, these are awesome and 100% worth it.

I used 2.5 boxes for an 8' Christmas tree. One candle didn't work but I still highly recommend. In daylight the candles are very white. When turned on at night the flame is amber gold. Remote wand works great. Elevated my Christmas tree game!

I bought these to hang from my covered front porch in front of a big window. The installation took longer than expected, but once I figured out how long I needed the fishing line to be, it went faster. The look exactly how I imagined they would, and look absolutely adorable!! After Halloween, I may be moving them permanently to hang from my basement ceiling over our gaming table.BUT… my candles may be haunted!! They will randomly turn on, sometimes only 1 candle, other times all of the candles. The remote is put up on a shelf where my toddler can’t reach, and I know that I didn’t turn them on. They will also turn themselves off.Aside from being haunted, I love them!!

The media could not be loaded. I added these lights this past Halloween and I love them! They were very easy to hang and the wand worked perfectly to turn on and off. It was hard to find ones that worked outdoors and these were perfect. The quality is great and stood up to wind and rain easily. They're not very heavy but have enough weight that they didn't blow away. And they were much brighter than I thought they would be. The perfect addition and price!

Fantastic and cute for the potter fan in your life. Not super bright but great decorations

The media could not be loaded. I had an old set from 2 years ago do the same thing and thought with adding the timer function maybe they had fixed the issues, but I was wrong. I have gotten 2 sets of these in the last month and they have all but 2 (of 40) stopped working properly. You can no longer turn them on, but as long as there are batteries in them you can't get them to fully shut off either. See video - they will randomly flash on.Not worth the money or the time setting them up for how quickly they break. The set in the video was just opened a week ago. It's a shame cause the 6hr on/18hr off cycle was perfect for the short time they worked they looked awesome.The tall and wider sets we got from the same company a while back mostly work still thankfully. There were a couple that never worked out of the box from broken battery connections and a couple of the tall ones that sometimes have to be loosened at the base to be turned off, but otherwise the ones that worked at the beginning of the bigger ones still work and would recommend buying those instead. I may need to go back and get more of those with the timer since these don't seem to have their wiring figured out. They have also killed most of the rechargeable batteries that have been used in them, so lost more than can get in refund.
