You will need:

Are they solar
The Infinity Wick Taper Candles featured here are not solar, they are battery operated. Thank you for your question!
-
Would these candles break if they fall down, are they shatterproof?
The candles are made from pretty sturdy materials, metal inner parts coated with real wax. However, if you drop them from a height of over six feet- you'll probably see some damage.
-
Planning to hang these candles outdoors, is it weatherproof?
I'd suggest resin tapers if you plan to put them outside, but none of our candles are really designed to be in the rain or snow- so keep them covered or take them in when it gets wet out.
-
Would the candle flames still look realistic in broad daylight?
I'd say they look good for flameless candles, but you wouldnt mistake them for being literally on fire.
