My first thought was yes! I need these!

My second thought was, Holy mother, those are way too expensive for just 4 little tea lights

My third thought was - 15 hours of battery life? For that price?

These are way way overpriced. I don't need them that badly.

I would like to know what the Luminara candles....any of them...look like when they are not lit...I notice that they never show them off when presenting them...

When they first came out...I thought i saw an unlit one on another site...that looked strange and ugly...could someone tell me...please

I think they look fine unlit.

In my honest opinion, all the flame effect candles (Luminara, Mirage etc.) look odd and fake when not lit. Those plastic flames just kind of stand out and look cheap.

But I have gotten used to them, and they are just the trade off (at least for now, until someone comes up with some other new technology) for the beauty when lit.

Thank you ....that is what I thought....I knew there had to be a reason why we never seen them unlit...I think I will hold off purchasing these...maybe one day they will make them nicer unlit as they look lit....Thanks, again... mominohio...

Hi there, @mallemo.  We had a brief discussion about these in the CIJ Purchases thread, page 2 and 3:

I'm really torn, because I love the look of my Mystique moving flame tealights with coin batteries, but I'm so tired of the constant battery changing, and I'm afraid the battery compartment spring-loaded lid will wear out because of the frequent opening and closing.  I stocked up on 100 cheap batteries from ebay, so I still have quite some time to go through them.  When that's over, I may consider investing in the rechargeable tealights. 

Why do the rechargeables have to cost so much?????? :-(

They are waaay toooo expensive!  I'll pass.

@circles, While I don't like how the moving flame tips look unlit, I agree with @Mominohio that you will probably get used to seeing them in your home, and then you won't give them much thought.  Every person is different, but I'm picky about a lot of little things like this, and I'm ok with them now, during the daytime, unlit.
