We were looking for a safer option to standard tea lights for our wedding reception next August. Saw these and thought that they were so reasonably priced we would purchase 1 pack just to try them out. We we really pleased with them, although we have chosen not to have these particular colours for the reception , we use them around the house. They give a real warm cosy effect, and they flicker ever so slightly to make it look more realistic. They are long lasting , we have used a few of them several times during a week long period and they are still going. I also think they are excellent at creating a more romantic feel if you know what I mean ;). we went on to try another colour. Would recommend them.
