818655 Imageo Candlelight

I really like these lights - use and charging could not be simpler and many pleasant design details abound. First, they are charged inductively which means you place them in the base but there are no contacts to misalign or corrode. Second, the lights are easily operated by simply tipping them side to side for on and off action. Third, the wall plug is shaped ergonomically so that your thumb and fingers grasp it comfortably but firmly when removing it from the outlet. The lights have an attractive appearance thanks to a finely frosted finish on the glass vessel. The LED inside flickers pleasantly and will fool casual observers that it is a candle. The color of the light is warm and adds to party ambience. The value proposition will depend on how badly how you want to add these to your occasions or your setting - for me they are a useful and fun addition to our garden parties and the product quality and excellent design makes it feel like a sensible buy.

Great product and love not needing to buy batteries. I have them in my office at work and lots of people comment on them and that they are pretty realistic for being LED lights. They don't really give off much light so you can really only use them for mood lighting, but that is what I got them for, so they work for my purpose. I do think they are pricey, so I hope they last a LONG time to make the price worthwhile for 3 fake candles. I would agree with some of the other reviews that the light is an orange-y color, not a soft white or yellow. For me, this con is not a deal breaker but I did take off one star because I wish they were a little more white or yellow. So far they have charged well and last the entire work day and I just put them in the base to charge before I go home each evening. I think having real frosted glass on the candle holder makes all the difference!

These candlelights are very cool. I bought three sets of them, two for myself and one as a gift. The charging base is one piece which is completely flat inside the three sections and has one small wire visible to plug it in. All you have to do is to give them a small shake to turn the candles on and off and what I like is that they flicker just like a normal candle but are much safer around your house. I am very pleased with them, they work well, the charge is long and with two sets I alternate them on one base so that three of them are ready at all times. A great buy and and a lovely gift for someone!

In the past we've tried a few flameless candles I can't say I thought much of them. Much like anything else in life you end up getting what you pay for. I ordered a few sets of these for both for our own home and as gifts. They're lovely albeit not as bright as some others - however the IMAGEO charging systems by Phillips makes these candles efforltess to use and will free you of the cost and hassle of having to keep batteries on hand. Some nice touches are: * Made from real frosted glasso which diffuses the light beautifully. * They're quite elegant even when turned off. * Color is nice and warm * Build quality of both candles and charging plate is excellent * Easy to use - just tilt each candle to either turn off or on ( Never have them site in the charger when on!) * Remember the candles need a full 12 hour charge. If you use them without the full charge the battery will never hold enough juice, this is true of all ion based batteries. We tried them set up in a cluster out on our sun porch in very dark conditions, the light compared to actual candles is no where as bright or warming - but from my limited experiance with other Flameless candles from Orange Tree to Yankee Candle none of them are.. However, they look quite nice and I would think using multiple sets would solve the problem. That or using other low light sources, other flameless candles, real candles, soft up-lighting and so on. The candles arrive in retail packaging I had some sets pre wrapped for gifts and the wrapping was superb. The candles, AC charge adapter and charging plate are each foam encased so not a single chip or scratch. Instructions are included with a direct 1-800 number to the Philips Lighting department. These candles, do have an upscale and elegant look. Although there is no remote, they're effortless to use and produce an incredibly realistic flicker. But again don't expect the light to be as bright as real candles would be. If you're on the fence about these I would urge you to go ahead and purchase a set, as they trump all other flameless candles we've had. And the overall look is gorgeous. Highest Recommendation!
