Great quality! Nice and bright!
I was looking for an alternative to regular tealights due to having children in my home and these were the perfect choice! These LED flameless tea lights are impressive! They are super bright! These tealights flicker just like a real candle. I got the set of 6 and all of them worked as they should. They are also very easy to turn on/off with a click of a switch. I have been using these tealights for the past few nights a few hours each time to light up our pumpkins and they are still going strong! These tealights appear to have a long battery life but once the batteries do run out, they can simply be replaced! I definitely recommend these flameless LED tealights by Mainstays!

Horrible
They're six in one pack. Three didn't work and three did. One of the ones that didn't work I got to work eventually but now I can't turn it off unless I open it completely up and take the battery out. No, even though they're cute, I would not recommend them to anyone.

    Tealight set
    Nice little set of tealights. Each light comes pre-equipped with a button battery (cr2032). I've only pulled the "activation tab" out to use 3/6, but from my experience the batteries are long lasting. The tea lights provide a very neat, simulated candle light. It even flickers! Great for setting the mood or putting inside decorative candle holders.

    Adorable and safe'
    I wasn't expecting how much we would love these. Batteries are included. We have 3 grandchildren in the house under the age of 4. Anything like this attracts them like a moth to a flame. (Forgive the pun.) As soon as I put them on the table, the 2-year-old beelined to them and snatched one up. If it had been a real flame, he would have been burned. The flicker is very realistic. When you first get them, flip it over and pull on the red tab. I took a pic of them. We light them up daily. Everyone in the family comments on them. I will be buying and giving more.

    Simple, easy and safer
    These are super easy to use and are safer than wax tea lights and no lighting! Just flip the switch on the bottom to on and it immediately lights up. We put them in the window and turned out the lights when we saw Christmas caroler's coming around and it gave then a nice welcome as they sang to us. These are pretty bright especially when all the lights are off. I was impressed. The kids will love them around a small tree or any holidays decor without the fear a fire starting. Just keep in mind they do have batteries in them. You can use them in anything that requires a wax tea light and it will look great. They do not flicker like a real candle but they do shine nicely.

    Perfect little flameless tea lights
    These tea lights are the perfect thing that needs to be lit by a candle. And its flameless so no fire. Its perfect and safe to use at parties and around decorations. They come with batteries already in them. There is a switch on the bottom to turn on and off. And the first time using them you pull out a red tag so the battery is connected and working. You get 6 candles. With a white base. You saw in the pic how real colored the flame is. Its pretty.

    Cute flickering lights
    I am currently using these in my Christmas village houses and also on my entry table decor. These lights flicker like a candle. They are bright enough to see through my village houses. These would be cute to use all year long when real candle tea lights aren't safe. When they are in my houses, you can't tell they aren't real candles.

    Beautiful
    These tealights really are beautiful. The flame has a nice flicker to it. There is an on/off switch on the bottom but no timer so you manually have to turn each one on and off. They come with a battery that can be replaced. Very happy to have these for decorations.

    Lovely Flicker Flames
    I absolutely love these tiny candles! The light of the flames casts a really warm glow. These candles are very light weight and have a switch on the bottom. It is really easy to switch them on and off. Bases are tan color and the flames light up to a yellow orange color They will make an excellent addition to my collection.

    Love these lights
    These tea lights are perfect for adding some light to your home decor. They are not bright and they seem to flicker a bit almost seems like it's a real candle. Bonus part it comes with batteries already. I love tea lights for my kids and their night lamps it's easier to shut off with a small switch in the back.

    Soft , yellow flickering lights
    I use the mainstays tea lights all the time. I love the soft glow they have & with the LED lights, now they last even longer. Just one tea light is enough for a small bathroom nightlight. I got the set of 6 and used them with my Christmas decorations for an added elegant look. There is just something about the soft, flickering yellow glow off tinsel that the tea lights give. They are small, about a little smaller than the size of my palm . They come with batteries, all I did was pull out the red tab on the bottom & slide the off switch to on. In the dark, they look like a real candle! They flicker like one too. Definitely worth buying!

    Love these!
    I am so glad I just got these! Perfect timing for the holiday season. I have a lot of holiday decor that takes tea light candles and these are a great alternative to actual candles. They are easy to use and I love the way they flicker like a real candle without the flame. Great product.

    Pretty Bright
    I use these sorts of candles all the time over Halloween and Christmas as they are a safe alternative to lighting candles. You don't have to worry about pets/kids getting into them or leaving them burning while you sleep. I've had brands before that are just terrible and don't light up at all or when they do, they go out after a few hours of use. Either that or they look insanely fake and really take away from the aesthetic. The plastic of these does look fabricated but that's not important as that part is usually not that visible for what I use them for anyway. The flame itself has a very realistic design and flickers ever so gently just like a real candle would. It's also nice and bright but in a candle color, not the white light that you get from some. I haven't used any for a Greta length of time to see how long they last yet but will just keep my fingers crossed. So far, so good!

    Cute little tea lights!
    I chose the Mainstays flameless LED tea lights 6 pack for various reasons. These lights are so handy to light up carved pumpkins without having to worry about the flame going out bc of the wind or not enough airflow, etc. They are also great to put in your windows around the holidays. It is really nice not having to remember there is a candle lit to put out before bed or before leaving for work. These lights can also be used to add a little warm light to a dinner table or coffee table. There is an on and off switch located on the underside of each light. The only downfall I saw with these little tea lights is that one of them came with a messed up on/off switch. I was able to make it work to stay on but the button wasn't working properly. I would recommend these lights to family and friends!

    Cute and much safer than real tea candles
    Great alternative if you love the ambiance of tea light candles but have small children, like myself, that like to stick their tiny hands into everything. They flicker like actual candles and have on/off switches underneath. The switches on 2 of them won't turn off but the batteries are pretty easy to take out and pop back in. Otherwise, cool product.

    Seems very cheap
    When I unpackaged my lights, one of the backs has popped off and the battery was out despite the back being attached by a screw. The tiny screw is super inconvenient because I do not have a screwdriver that smal. Why not just have the back pop off similar to tv remotes, etc. I popped the back back on, but the on/off switch seems to have no control over the light, which stays on no matter the position. These lights are extremely lightweight and feel very flimsy. Personally I would prefer to invest in a more quality set, but if you want something really cheap, this might be an option. With all 6 on, they let off a substantial amount of light.

    These blink rather than flicker
    When I use electric tea lights, I am used to seeing a natural flicker like a candle...but these look very automated, almost more of a blinking light than a flicker. That is the “worst” thing about these lights. Second, the tea light itself is not white (not that they are advertised as so, but still). You may want to consider that if you plan to have these tea lights visible for a wedding or shower or something. On the bright side, these do have an auto shut off, which I love because it helps save the battery. They are also quite bright, and a nice warm golden glow. Just one tea light lit up my entire pumpkin, which surprised me! I gave three stars because of the blinking vs flicker issue...it just makes it look really unnatural. Everything else was a home run tho!h

    Nice tealights
    Very nice tealights to help create a mood and replace potentially hazardous flame tealights. The glow is a nice orange color that flickers just like a regular candle would. The lights come with batteries included and use a pretty common size button battery when it is time to replace them.

    Classic Staple, Classic Functionality
    I love tealights like these. They're a great staple to have for decor and for emergencies. I like getting mine and stocking up (especially for the holidays) from Walmart because they come with batteries and are cheap. However, you do get what you pay for. Generally there are lights that come broken or don't light up. In this pack 2 did not work. Although 1 turns on, the switch is a bit finicky, and the light will randomly turn on. These are staple lights, and they look great in holiday decor, but they are definitely cheap. Batteries alone make it still worth the buy.

    These are so very practical!!
    I received a box of 6 Mainstays LED Tealights free in exchange for my honest opinion. I am SO happy with these little "candles". I have always loved the flickering light from candles inside of pumpkins and holiday lanterns, but have always been far too afraid of fires to ever leave one unattended. These little battery-operated LED candles take away ALL danger. They come with the battery already in them (replaceable 3v watch batteries), and have an on/off switch on the bottom. I have had the one in the photos on for 3 hours so far, and it's as bright as when I first turned it on. These are a definite win for me!

    No messy wax
    Mainstays flameless led tealights are a great option to those who want to eliminate the mess and smoke regular candles do. Also they are a safe option to use around younger kids and house safety fire issues.They do look realistic from afar.Replacing the battery is a pain and an expense but can last a long time depending on usage.
