These are exactly what the description showed, however each one has a switch on the bottom that must be turned on. No remote control was provided and looking at them I doubt that they have the capability to be remotely controlled.Of course I could be wrong.I will contact seller and inquire about this.Update: Seller mistakenly sent the wrong item. He is replacing with tea lights with remote control and allowing me to keep the ones sent in error.Very helpful and gracious seller.Update: I have received 2 packages of 12 yellow tealights both with remotes and some extra batteries. This was very nice of seller and more than made up for confusion.Thanks to a very helpful seller. RJI recently hosted a 90th birthday dinner for my Mother & along with simple, beautiful floral arrangements had these little tealights nestled among the vases & on the tables in frosted votive holders. People had NO idea they weren't real & they gave off a lovely, soft flicker. Really helped set a mood of elegance. I'm so pleased with my purchase. These little tealights will be used again & again.They were lightweight, long-lasting, and provided just enough light to use the bathroom without turning on a bright light. In addition, one was useful in medieval European lodging where our room had 2-3 steps down to get to our en-suite bathroom. I just set one down on the side of the step to remind us of the drop. Take 1/week of your trip, although their longevity seemed to be forever. Highly recommended!I was very happy with the results of the tea light flameless candles. They lasted for my entire wedding. it made it a magical evening! thank you !These little tea lights all came with batteries installed and a whole set of extra batteries besides. Not that I need them. I left one on for 24 hours and it was still flickering when I realized I had forgotten about it. Imagine if I had done that with a candle!Battery operated tea lights are a much safer alternative. When obscured inside a vase, they look like the real thing. Outside the vase, they look, well . . . plastic.This product was provided for review by Startech.Bought 2 dozen of these to decorate the tables at my wedding. Startech included several cards of extra batteries. The lights look very real! Yet, they are much safer than the real thing. Very satisfied with the product, great customer service, speedy shipping.
