Hi, I am redoing my room to be a harry potter theme and I am tring to switch my lighting. I was hoping to go for a floating candle type thing and hanging them from the ceiling with wire and they are supposed to be non flamable by battery power. The thing is I dont know how to turn them on/off without going to each one and turning it off/on manually. If anyone knows how to hook them up to the light switch that would be great. Thanks. Bye.

P.S. if it wouldnt work out then how could I wire some up together so that I could have a plug-in to plug it in to a wall? Or do they make Christmas decoration candles that would have a long cord to have hanging from the wall so it wouldnt be visable?

that's not a good idea since batteries are very low voltage, nearly nonexistant, and a light switch on a normal house circuit is 110v. The wiring in the candles would overheat and cause a fire.

This is not a good idea. I know what you want to do, but if it runs on batteries then it has it's own switch and should not be tied into the house wiring. Just do it by hand, one at a time. Sorry to have to tell you this but it is, what it is.
Good luck.
