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!
