I'm a guy who typically dislikes any kind of LED tea light. They seem dim and never realistic. And most are light orange, not the neat bright white of a real candle flame.
I was initially going to use real candles in the ANGELS' hearts and in the green CHURCH staffs around the KINGS, but I realized early on that would have been foolish due to the heat and the potential for accidents (a lesson I ignored from the big votive stand I built).

So I thought I'd pass along the type I purchased on Amazon. Really bright and totally realistic. My advice would be to use two or three in anything you're thinking of lighting, but definitely DIFFUSE the light sources by wrapping the tea lights in a thin piece of crumpled white tissue paper - but only one layer!
