I was thinking of getting some of those little LED candles to put in lanterns during the festive season, with a bit of greenery around them, a bit safer than real candles in some places. The ones I have seen in the cheapie shops look really badly made, and even the QVC ones don't have great reviews. Can anyone recommend anywhere to get them?

I have had them from here sunflower.

They look very real and come in various shapes and sizes too.

I've seen some in Lakeland. These look OK, but I don't like the look of their LED tea lights.

Thanks all, not thought of Lakeland. I love them, because their returns policy is so good.

I've just bought packs of 4 battery tea lights for £1 at DiscountUK. Also extra batteries, very inexpensive. It's one of a range of 'cheap' stores, very similar to BM Bargains and Homebargains. I've got a real phobia about naked flames and I've used the little battery lights at Christmas in coloured glass holders. Once they're surrounded by bits of greenery they're fine. Also at Halloween, my DGD and I covered the outside of some small clear plastic tumblers with flames made from tissue paper,popped the lights in and used them to line the driveway. They were really effective.
