The remote allows you to turn the candle on & off, dim the light, & set a timer. The candle will turn on & off with a switch at the bottom of the candle without the remote. The remote works with all of my encanto candles & encanto characters. The candle in the photo is 4 1/4" in height by 2.2" on diameter. It is a smaller candle (see video)The encanto candles next to it are 7" in height & available in my shop for purchase also. The light is at the top of the candle. Each candle is 2" in diameter & has a real life flicker effect. It runs on 2 aa batteries & also has real paraffin candle wax. Batteries not included. This is a wax led candle. If you drop it, it may break. If you get it wet, the print & wax will be ruined. Since these are made individually by hand, so some variations in appearance will be present. Candle heights are measured from the back of the candle to the top of the wax & may vary 1/4" due to wax melting. For any questions please message me & please check my other items.
