Advantages: work very well

Disadvantages: difficult to light at times

I was bought some tea lights from Sainsbury's for Christmas. My daughter said the packet cost her just £2 and in the pack are 100! It isn't presented in a particularly beautiful manner like you can get, they are simply just in a bag but I don't really mind about presentation because they aren't going on display in the bag!

I love using tea lights, I like to have them in my little oil burner and I Have a few little ornaments which have tea light room underneath them so I do tend to use them quite a bit.

I like scented ones but I have had to use plain ones because sometimes the scented ones can be awkward with the oil burning as the two fragrances mix and so these are perfect for me. The have no scent at all except the usual slightly waxy smell of a candle.

They are your usual size for a tea light so can fit into any tea light holding item.

I found a few of them are difficult to light, the wick is very dry and it can take a few attempts to get it to light, this can be a bit frustrating, at times I think it's taken and then it goes out again but eventually I can light them.

They work perfectly fine, they keep burning until the wax has all gone and then they just go out. They have little metal discs around them which keeps them from spilling or the fire spreading.

Although it is a little difficult to light some at times I don't think I can give it anything less than five stars because for such a cheap price they are well worth it. I use several a day so these are ideal for me, cheap, cheerful and they work perfectly fine once lit.

Summary: 5 stars
