Last year Dryersheet did a glowing review for the colored tealights from 100Candles.com. In the past, I've always used the Howler pumpkin lights but since I can no longer find them I placed an order for the triple LED submersible tealights.
After using them this past Halloween I feel they're superior to the Howler lights in almost every way. They're cheaper per light, smaller, brighter, and waterproof. Howler lights were typically ~$4-$5 per light. These tealights come in packs of 10 and were $15 making them $1.50 each. They also have tealights that aren't waterproof for less money. Rainy Halloweens have ruined more than a few of my Howler lights ,but with these being waterproof, that is no longer an isssue. They're also much smaller than my previous lights, being about the size of a quarter.
What I really like about them though is that they're very bright and light my foamies very well. In these pics the tealights are on the left while the Howler lights are on the right. The tealights are just as red and blue as the Howlers but my camera doesn't make it look that way. (Maybe because of the brightness)?
To top it off, when I received my order, the company threw in 16 free batteries and a couple of LED flashlight keychains. The only unknown for me is the battery life. I ran them on Halloween night for about 4-5 hours and they were still very bright but a couple began to dim. I'm not sure that I'd get another 4-5 hours out of them. They take 2 CR2032 batteries apiece which are the larger flat disc type batteries. Their prices seem comparable to that of AAA batteries on Amazon. Thanks for taking a look and feel free to ask any questions! Here's a couple more pics of my pumpkins lit by the tealights.
