Philips Imageo Rechargeable LED Candle Lights - White, Set of 3

I rarely take the time to write reviews on products but love these so much I thought I'd make a special effort, besides, I'm thinking about buying another 2 sets of these as a present. I bought one set and then another for myself just recently and have used the lights every night since to create a cosy relaxing environment whilst crashed out on the sofa, light my dark hall to save leaving on the main lights and create a homely effect in my bedroom. I've also left the light on all night and find it still burning away the next day. I'll no doubt be using them for a relaxing bath ambience too. The lights themselves are much smaller than they appear on the photographs/marketing blurb; they are just perfect. They also flicker, the frosted glass adds to the effect, they turn on and off with ease and generally appear to be of high quality. Even the chargers are minimalistic and attractive in themselves and I've stacked one set on top of the other for optimum space saving charging, with success. These little lights have got many a comment and I rather geekily admire the simplicity and genius of them! Also great around pets and in areas that would normally be slightly risky for a real flame. Buy these (but save 2 for me!!).

We have had the red colour of these for a couple of years, and they have been brilliant! The blue coloured ones are exactly the same, but blue instead of red. (red ones - Philips Imageo 69108/32/PU LED Rechargeable Candle Lights, Red. Ideal Valentine's Day Gift and Evening's of Romance Throughout the Year! ) They’re perfect for additional ambience lighting, either indoors or for evening outdoor times. The frosted glass provides a diffused candle flame flicker effect. When looking down the inside of the glass from the top, the ‘flame’ itself has two LEDs inside (you can’t see them unless they’re on). The lower one stays on all the time, and the upper one flickers (gently up and down in random brightness, not simple flashing on and off). This gives the illusion that it’s actually a candle flame. Cheaper types only have one LEDs that ‘flicker’ artificially, and they don’t seem anywhere near as realistic. My video shows the three blue candles, and one red for comparison. Turning them on and off is a breeze, and even after having had them for several years still feels novel. Just tilt them as if you were pouring liquid out of the glass! The base charger is elegant and so easy to use (press the central LED, which also acts as a button, to charge). They do seem rather expensive, but they are quality, look fantastic and last a long time. Highly recommended! If you find this review useful, please consider clicking on ‘YES’ below, thanks!

I got these lights on a lightening deal and would say I'm very pleased with them. If you dislike the color blue or the idea of 'blue' candle lights flickering, these are probably not a good idea for you, but I love blue and feel it's a calming/soothing colour therefore even though it may be somewhat unnatural at first look to have blue flickering candlelights, it's quite nice to the eye. I LOVE the base that allows to charge and store these, much better than other candlelights I tried which, although they had more advanced settings for the light flickering and more colours, were battery powered which was a bit of a chore. The charger is wonderful, you just plug it into the socket and leave the 3 candles on it, but best of all it's a pretty AND convenient way to store them. Quality is great. Honestly the only thing I would have liked would have been to have more settings for the way they flicker, the functionality is pretty basic but works fantastic so I would recommend these. I use them indoors but the material would be great for outdoor use, and they would look great too.

Nice item does what it's meant to do

When you have kids running around, the last thing you want are naked flames. My wife is a big fan of candles, and in winter candles come out as soon as it's dark. I never light candles when kids are around for obvious reasons and even putting them on shelves etc. doesn't make it safe, as kids tend to throw things around which could still cause an accident. So we bought some LED tea lights, which were great, and after seeing these on offer, we opted to get some to replace the tea lights. The look of these is really nice and slick and they look good as just ornaments on your shelves / units. The way you switch them on (tip them upside down) is also smart. Finally, the look of them when they are on in the dark is inoffensive. However, the cons for me is they flicker to much to mimic real candlelight. And they only last a couple of nights, especially if used over winter when they nights are long. After that, you need to make sure you charge them. The docking station is also inoffensive, but you wouldn't keep the candles in it all the time (and they only charge when you press a button, it's not a continual charge), which increases the risk of you dropping one. They haven't broke for me, but they feel pretty fragile, so you would need to be careful moving these from a shelf (for example) to the charger and back every couple of days. The batteries are also inconsistent. This is probably different from box to box, but one will go off 3-4 hours before the next, even though they have all been on for the same amount of time. The LED tea lights I have bought had a lower but more natural light and flicker to them. They aren't rechargeable like these, but they have lasted for months and it code me £3 for a pack of 6. I think these are good if you find it on a deal, but I think they have a long way to go, especially around battery life.

Purtroppo ho dovuto restituire l'articolo perché la spina (incorporata nell'alimentatore e quindo non sostituibile) era di tipo UK e non italiana.

Petite déception à l'ouverture du carton, le câble d'alimentation est aux normes des Royaumes-Unis donc sa fiche est non compatible avec les prises françaises! Aujourd'hui presque n'importe quel objet de ce type est vendu avec les différents câbles pour les différentes normes électriques de chaque pays donc surprise quand même! Dommage!!!

Ganz schlecht!! Ladegerät passte nicht für Deutschland.!, Hatten das Teil schon einmal gekauft, wie hier, im Original und alles war perfekt Da das Ladegerät von diesem Teil noch da war, nur die Kerzen nicht mehr brannten, konnten wir austauschen. Fanden wir sehr ärgerlich und waren somit gar nicht zufrieden!!!!

Le candele hanno l'effetto che volevo e la qualità è veramente buona. Spedizione + + + + imballaggio tutto ok!!!
