Would these be a good choice to use for my wedding reception? I want hanging candles, but dont want to climb a ladder 2 turn them on when it gets dark

I wanted something similar and was disappointed by how dim the candles are.

I don't think I would use them. They are cute... but just don't glow as bright as I would like. I had them grouped on a table and they looked ok but I also had four larger ones with them.. if they would have been alone I don't think they would have been near enough light. They aren't as bright as a night light.

Yes just turn them on the day before at the time you want them to come on. I have had mine on every night for 30 days. They are not as bright as real flame but a nice mood light

They are not real dependable. I put one in the bathroom and it went out after a couple hours.

These look great, but these are mostly for ambience. Don't expect the glow and brightness of real candles, or their natural beauty. These would look good at home, at a small get-together, or cozy for two setting. I wouldn't suggest these to light up much larger settings. That said, these are far, far safer than real candles if there is a concern of kids or clumsy adults being around. As for longevity, Tea light candles usually burn for up to 3-4 hours easily. Good luck, and congrats !! :-)

It depends how low they are hanging, but in general I would say no...you're better off having some stronger lighting.

I used the lights outdoor and the suited the occasion perfectly. The lights are warm and not the cool blue bright lights. If your room is big then you will be fine.

I absolutly think you could use these for that function. I was very pleased with the quality of the lanterns. You can see them in my house on my blog here: http://cornerofoxford.blogspot.com/2013/12/let-there-be-pretty-light.html

I think the light these give off are nice. Not so yellow looking. For K do your own research. Good Luck

we did use battery operated tea lights in them, we duct taped them in and hung little weights (whatever we could find) so they would stay upright. there are battery operated lights that are designed to hang in this kind of lantern they are just more expensive and I liked the flickering kind of tea light look Better, it was more romantic. good luck!

The candles stay on for about 5 hours before timing off. There is an "on" option as well as timer so you could just turn them on and leave them on if that is helpful.

Better with hanging latern cords. There isn't any place to put for ex. candle lights but i found this which could be used: Vakind 24x White LED Party Lights For Paper Lanterns Balloons Floral Decoration light. And similar products of course

I would say yes. I really loved this lights. I really recommend them. they are cute to see and they provide a nice light in the room.

I just flipped the page on the calendar so it is funny you should ask! I suppose you could hang them from the ceiling but factor in the weight of the object being hung. For hanging plants I stick with the hangers meant for that although that means finding something other than gypsum board. I'm thinking it would work but not anything too heavy. I love these things because there are only tiny holes to be patched when painting, etc.

I think they're best suspended from above. They have wire hangers on the ends. Mine hang on chains from the ceiling. A tall stand with a beam across the top that they could hang from might work..

That's a great idea! If you turned it upside down and put a big candle on it, or put some sort of small rocks or other decor items - they would look awesome!!!

I haven't assembled mine yet but I'm familiar with the way its built. If you could go with a light weight chandelier you would be fine. They make some nice geometric shaped ones out of paper and plastic. Maybe direct the light onto them for effect. I wouldn't go much past 10 pounds suspended. They just aren't built for much past supporting itself.

We have not heard any customer feedback about anyone using mantles in these lanterns. I'm afraid we can't answer this question. Sorry we couldn't be of anymore help!

Hi! I used these for my rustic wedding & they were great. I ordered them from Petzone & Prettysweetparty. Hope this helps!

They will supply ample light in that setting. They are very bright LED units. I've used mine at church functions as well as stage settings and it has never disappointed .

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.
