Let me start by saying this pineapple LED candle holder is absolutely stunning when lit up! The swirling glitter effect paired with color-changing LEDs creates a magical ambiance in my bedroom. I love placing my Bath & Body Works single-wick candle on top - it casts dreamy reflections on my ceiling at night.

The dual power options (battery/USB) are convenient, though I agree with other reviewers about the battery life being disappointingly short. I've resorted to using the included USB cable for continuous use. Pro tip: Keep it plugged in near your bedside!

Now for the elephant in the room - that squeaking noise! During my first night using it, the rhythmic squeak every 10 seconds nearly drove me crazy. I discovered (like many reviewers) that placing a soft cloth underneath helps muffle the sound significantly. It's not perfect, but makes it tolerable for decorative use.

The size is smaller than I expected (about 5" tall), but this actually works well for tabletops and nightstands. My cat is obsessed with watching the swirling glitter - bonus entertainment! The construction feels surprisingly sturdy despite being lightweight.

While I wish it had an option to stay on one color (the cycling rainbow mode can feel too festive sometimes), this makes a wonderful conversation piece. Just know what you're getting into regarding the noise before purchasing - it's definitely more of a decorative item than a silent nightlight.
