Leejec 20Pcs Floating Candle with Wand Remote, 6/18H Timer, 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!

The wand looks a little on the cheapish side but make no mistake on how incredibly awesome these are! Shipping arrived on time and everything worked very well. Batteries are not included and they are AA. My kids and myself are obsessed with them. I am a Harry Potter nerd so I'm extra excited and these delivered to my inner child!!! I most def will be purchasing more.

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!

Let me just say that, ultimately, these floating candles looked AWESOME and elevated our Harry Potter party to the next level. I hung them in my front hallway (pictured) and in my dining room, and they looked truly amazing. I had 3 sets and had no problem controlling all of them with a wand from one of the sets. They each came pre-strung with a generous length of fishing line. Putting in the batteries took a few minutes, but wasn't a deal breaker. The biggest pain was getting them to stay hung! We decorated the day before the party and within 24 hours 2/3 of them had fallen down. I'd read reviews that said that the sticky disks that came with them would take not only your paint but also your sheet rock, so those got a hard pass, and I wasn't wild about putting 60 small holes in my ceilings with the provided thumbtacks either. What I wish I HAD used (and what these should come with) are mini command hooks: they're small and clear, and they stay up well and come down easily. You can get 100 of the knock off ones right here on Amazon for about 15 bucks. As it was, I hung them with scotch tape (first one piece, then a second, then one more on a several... 🙄) I will say that they're sturdy - - pretty much all of them fell at least once (several fell multiple times) and only one stopped working. I can't speak to their longevity as everything got packed up and put away the next day, but they really were cool. They looked beautiful, and I got MANY compliments on them. All in all they were definitely worth the cost and effort.

Good quality! They come pre-strung which is convenient, they look great and great hanging options

I purchased this product for my wife who is a hue Harry Potter nut. I hung them in our hallway and tested them prior. Some of the candles refused to light up after the AAA battery was installed. This is due to the metal spring that pushes the battery into the connection being too short and compact and not forming a circuit with the battery. Easy fix, take a butter knife and gently pull up on the spring a bit and elongate it to it does it's job and forms the connection. Now after every candle was working perfectly with the wand (turning on and off when the wand was used), range started to become an issue after about a week. The furthest candle away could be switched on/off at a distance of 24" down from about 10'-0" out of the box. Currently the issue is the wand is being very selective upon which candles it lights/turns off. I have checked every candle thoroughly and the main issue with this product seems to be the wand itself. Each wand is programmed specifically to the candles it comes with. It appears the wand may just be chewing through batteries with only a few uses, as it runs on a single AAA battery like the candles do. It may also need to be replaced as I only see a handful of other purchasers having the same issue. I guess it's a roll of the dice what you get. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE: I got in touch with Leejac and they replaced the wand at no cost. The new wand is working correctly and the wife is thrilled again. Thank you.

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.

As a Harry Potter fan, I absolutely love these candles. The seller was great at resolving an issue that I had with the wand. Thank you!!

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.
