I was looking for a Luminara taper as a gift, but could only find 8-inch tapers. I found this one listed as a 10-inch taper, but it wasnt a Luminara brand. I was worried that the flame wouldnt look as real, but I decided to take a chance and ordered some anyway. This taper uses the same technology as the other brand and it looks awesome! It is a true 10-inch taper and fits nicely in my candlesticks. I am so happy I took a chance on these! The price was great, the candle flames look amazingly real and they look fabulous on the table. Im glad I ordered two sets, one in white and one in red...but I may end up keeping both, instead of giving a set away, because I like them so much!
