It is nice to find a realistic looking LED taper candle in a shorter height of 7". The measurements are actually 6.75" from the base to the top of the taper and 7.75" from the base to the top of the "flame". Each candle uses 1 AAA battery which doesn't last very long even using for just 4 hours a day. It would be nice if they used a larger or multiple batteries to last longer. Each set of 4 candles comes with 1 remote that turns the candles ON and OFF and to set the timer for 4 or 8 hours. It would also be nice if the remote included 2 and/or 6 hour timer choices. These 2 things are why I only gave 4 stars, but I honestly love these candles.
