Homemory Flickering Flameless Long Lasting Centerpiece Reviews Summary

Timer Function

Pros:

• "The timer function works as advertised. Lights come on at 5:30 pm, off at 11:30 pm and the battery life is great!"
• "I loved turning the lights on at 5 pm, having them turn themselves off at 11 pm, and then come back on at 5 the next night."
• "They come with batteries and once you activate them they come on automatically and turn off after 6 hours!"
• "The timer not only works great, the comes back on the next night at the same time you started it the first time."
• "It's great to have them come on automatically for 6 hours then shut themselves off."
• "The timer on these are spot on."
• "The timer function is great. On for 6 hours, off for 18."

Cons:

• "Really disappointed with this set of timer tea lights. After only a few weeks, two went out and the rest are very dim."
• "The timer function seems to work well except that after the first few days or so, they did not turn on."
• "The timer is off on some of them."
• "UPDATE: batteries are already low, the tea lights are so dim now you can barely see them. It’s only been one month."
• "These stopped worked after 1 month and I tried to replace the battery. It was so difficult to open the battery back. Waste of money."
• "The lights work on or off. No timer feature, despite it’s marked 'timer'."

Battery Life

• "They last a long time on a battery."
• "The batteries last for a long time also."
• "So far the batteries included last a good amount of time."

Cons:

• "Really disappointed with this set of timer tea lights. After only a few weeks, two went out and the rest are very dim."
• "Unfortunately they didn’t even last two months."
• "Bought 11 months ago... Never tried them again until I just went to turn them on because there's a storm coming. NONE OF THEM WORKED!"
• "Batteries run out on the timer faster than I would like and have expensive replacements (when compared to a AA or AAA replacement)."
• "Battery life is less than a month."
• "These were great but the batteries only lasted for just over a month."
• "However, using them as intended, on the timer, they only last about a month and a half."

Light Quality

Pros:

• "The warm yellow 'flame' color is soft and deep, just what I was hoping for!"
• "They flicker like a real flame!"
• "These tea lights are beautiful. They are bright and flicker delightfully."

Cons:

• "Great timer feature, but shine a very NOT warm white. Instead it is a bit greenish even and harsh."
• "While it's great to have candles with the timer feature, I was a little disappointed that these were not very bright."
• "They're cute but they're very dim. I put some in my vintage wall sconces with translucent red glass and you can't even tell they're on."
• "Candles light up as an unnatural 'white' color instead of the more common soft white/ yellow white (as candles typically look in the dark)."
• "These have a weird greenish hue to them. Not soft white."
• "These are definitely plastic and the light is VERY bright, so if you need something more realistic and romantic, this may not be it."

Design and Build

Pros:

• "They are very sturdy."
• "These fit perfectly in a small wooden tree that holds tea lights."
• "They look real inside a candle holder and give off a pretty glow."
• "The surface of these tea lights are not real slick which I like because I want to paint the outside of them."
• "They are pretty, bright and flicker just a little."
• "Great quality product and we highly recommend them!!"
• "They give the impression of the beauty and elegance of a candle without any of the negatives."

Cons:

• "The plastic is a little thin and you can see a seam/white inter-workings…doesn’t bother me but something to consider depending on how you’ll use them."
• "The internal mechanism is visible from some angles, so I just turn it so it's best side is showing."
• "The only thing I don't like about them is that the battery pack within the unit is visible due to the sheer plastic cover and the seams are a bit noticeable."
• "You can see through the case and see the seam and the components."
• "Now there are two injection posts clearly visible all around making it looks cheap."
• "Light shines through the case construction showing the seams and the battery inside as shadows through it."
• "You can see the mechanics of the light through the cheap plastic… so unless you are putting them in candleholders that cover the encasement, then I would forego buying this set."

• "So easy and convenient."
• "It's great that they have a timer."

• "They come on everyday at the same time because they have a timer switch."
• "I'm impressed with these. So nice to have tealights with a timer function."

Cons:

• "I have tons of battery operated tea lights that I never use because it’s just a hassle."
• "Even if I have to replace the batteries every month it’s totally worth it to not have the hassle of turning all the lights on and off or messing with a remote."
• "There is no easy way to reset the timer - I’ve had to remove the battery to reset and that only worked with some of them."
• "I am so annoyed they have changed the design on these and it is almost impossible to open them to change battery."
