I bought this product from you and the candles do not turn off in 5 hours; I assume when I return on the candles, they automatically shut off in 5?

Stephen, did you follow the directions to turn the auto-timer on? Turn the candles off, then press and hold the little power button on the bottom until the candle blinks one time, then release the power button. The candles will 'burn' for five hours from that point and everyday thereafter until the batteries die.

Yes the candles do turn off in five hours mine do anyway,they are a little tricky to turn on ,in order for them to turn off read your instructions ,but they do turn off

I've never let mine stay on for five hours to test that feature, so I'm sorry I don't know.

I turn mine on with the remote almost every night about 5 or 6pm and leave them on until 10:00 or 11:00. I have 5 of them and hope to get a couple more soon. I'm a big candle lover but these are way better no mess. Have had them since August and still going strong.

There have been many posts like mine, but I chose to ignore them. I was wrong. The light will shut off after seven seconds. I learned the hard way. The product is defective. Look at the other reviews. Good luck if you purchase one!

These candles take 2 Double a batteries. I would recommend fresh Duracell batteries. Other candles that take the trip AAA batteries, do not last long at all. With new Duracell batteries I can only guess, but with the candle set on timer going 5 hours per day they last a good couple to three months or so. But that's just my best guess. I am pleased with how long they last after seeing other versions of these candles go through batteries every two weeks or less. Hope this helps.

The on/off button on the bottom of the candle is always on. I turn it on with the remote, which has 4 hrs or 8 hrs timer. They will turn off automatically after that. Or, if you want, you can turn them on and off whenever. That's why I like these, so versatile.

Yes. It is automatically set. If you don't want the candles to turn off automatically, you just unscrew the bottom of the candles so the battery doesn't touch.

I've had the candles for 3 months and they come on every evening for 5 hours, have yet to replace the original batteries used. I have enjoyed them completely. Do they look completely "real"? No. They don't drip wax and aren't going to cause a fire. They add a warmth and glow to any room, but are not sufficent to add actual functional light, they are decorative only. I'd like all of my "faux candles" to be on timers, highly recommend if you're just entering the market for them.

There is no "just on" option. When you turn it on, it automatically starts the timer process. My best suggestion would be to turn it off then back on after 5 hours. There are other candles from this same company that allow for on, off, or timer. All in all. Very high quality for what you get.

I bought them and turned them to the on position when I put them outside on a tree. I never turned them to the off position. They would usually come on at night, but only for an hour or so. I did not love the product. I am not sure if I had turned it to off during the day if it would have helped or not.

This candle does not have a timer. It has to be turned on and off manually.

Jenn, I haven't noticed that the candles put off heat. However, I haven't used them during the very humid summer months yet; time and moisture will tell.

That is hard to say. I have gotten batteries that seem to last FOREVER, and others that don't work after a couple of weeks. The candles are wonderful though, and because I enjoy them so much, I am more than willing to replace the batteries whenever necessary.

Another spot on Amazon site specifies these are rated to last 70+ hours. Just last week I got a Restoration Hardware catalog and saw LED candles - the cheapest was $19/EA but they specify the candles last as long as 1,000 hours. Had there been better information at Amazon site at the time of purchase I would of not bought these HOWEVER I do have a supply of Eneloop SANYO rechargeable batteries here at the house so will just bite it. Technology has made great leaps in LED lighting in the last couple of years there is much better alternatives.

Yes but the timer on the candle is different from the timers on other flameless candles that I've purchases. It's a push button type and if you want the candle "on", just push the button once and do the same to turn it off. If you want the timer function turned on, you must press and hold the button until the candle "blinks" one time, then release the button. That activates the automatic 5-hour timer mode. I've been using mine for nearly 3 months now and haven't had to change the 2 "AA" batteries.

The ones I just received require 3 AAA-s per candle . **IF** you use the 4 or the 8 hr timer on remote to turn candles off, tho they're literally not on, they still draw energy from batteries... best to manually turn them off by their on-off switch on underside of candle, when you can.

I believe that the regular candle does not come with a remote control to turn the candles on and off. One remote will work for all the candles.
