The LED candles had an amazing dancing flame effect. They are almost undetectable as not real even a couple of feet away. I used them in a candlestick on the piano on the stage. You cannot have an open flame on stage. The House Manager came running over to me and told me to get that live flame off stage immediately. Pretty expensive, but worth it for sure. I had a problem with the shipping. I had paid for expedited delivery and discovered that they were sent regular ground and wouldnt make it for my big event. I called *** in Customer Service and he made sure that they were shipped out over night and I had them the next morning. Very good service and took care of the problem at no additional charge.
