I'm looking for some fake candles. I want to turn on a bunch of very realistic looking candles at the touch of a button. If a professional candle inspector looks at my candles from more than a couple feet away, I want them to be fooled.

I like to take baths. That's right, baths. I'm a dude though so I take Tactical Baths™. No, I'm kidding about that part. I take Long, soothing, luxuriously hot baths. Maybe with some music playing. There might even be bubbles. I've found that doing this once or twice a week relaxes me and helps me, if even for a brief moment, shut off the OVERWHELMING HORRORS OF EVERY DAY LIVING*.

What I don't like is the harsh overhead light in my bathroom. That's where the candles come in. I like to light a few candles. I like the light. The gentle glow. The flicker.

But I'm tired of the wax. Or the fact that most candles seem to last a week before the wick disappears down into the candle like a frightened turtle, rendering the candle useless. My bathroom looks like a graveyard for candles. No, I'm not looking for candle maintenance tips. It's almost 2024. Surely there is a better way.

I would like to get about a dozen realistic looking LED candles. I want to turn on all of them with the single click of a button on a remote. The candles and remote should be water resistant. I want individual candles I can spread out, not some sort of all-in-one candle cluster. Is this even possible?

Have you bought fake candles recently? Do they look real? Realistic enough? I'd prefer ones that don't have a fake-looking "flame" but rather something that looks like the flame is surrounded by the body of the candle so the whole thing glows. I'm sure there is proper candle terminology I could be using if I had paid attention in candle class back in Jr. High School.

Anyway, my question is: Can you recommend (and link to) a make/model of fake LED candles that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing and that can be controlled with a single remote? Cost is not an issue but it's a candle, Michael. What could it cost? Ten dollars?

*ok things aren't that bad but you know what I mean.
