3. Those look really nice.

You will have to let us know how it works when you get it.

If it were me, I would ask the company where you bought them if there is anything you can do to change the color. They would be able to let you know if that is a bad idea. I don't know where the batteries go in, but assume that would be in the bottom---so much for just dipping it in colored wax to coat the outside with another color. But since this candle has no heat source, you could make a "cozy" to slip on it out of some material that you would like---and you could change the color whenever you want with a different cover. Or a wide ribbon would decorate it and hide most of the white. But before I got into too much, I would see if the white really doesn't work at all.

Sounds like a great idea.
