I think it was the Luminara candle that started the trend of LED candles with magnetically deflected plastic flames in front of a focused LED. This recent offering from the Premier brand may be a cheap clone, but it seems to use a dedicated LED and drive circuit to achieve a very good result with ultra low current consumption.

Does someone have a idea if such moving flame module (incl. the plastic parts but without the wax candle and battery case) is somewhere available for purchase? It would be nice to have for my DIY candles.
Just got a box of three of these to help cheer up the longer winter evenings, very effective. However, the ones I have use 2 AA batteries, so with 2 Nickel Metal Hydride batteries at 2.4 volt, they are pretty dim. At 3 volt with two fresh alkaline AAs they are nice and bright but this means it would be hard to use up the full capacity of alkaline batteries as once they got to about 1.3 volt per cell they are going to be quite dim. So with your tear-down instructions I'm going to put in a small DC-DC step up converter so I can use Nickel Metal Hydride cells and boost it up to 3 volts, in addition if they do get run on normal AAs they can drain down to almost nothing whilst the light output remains constant. Just got to avoid breaking the wax case!
I have an issue with my Luminara candle. It still functions but the "flame" doesn't flicker anymore. Any ideas how to fix that? I really need some help here!
ooh wowww you amde a great job there!!
omg i littearly thought the cheapest was the most expensive, it does look best.
Want to buy
I've got one of these candles going right behind my phone mount next to my bed right now, and I was wondering what mechanism it was that cause the fake flame to move about. I got to tell you finding the answer to an odd question at 1:20 a.m. is such a good feeling. Thanks for all your videos!
Thanks I enjoyed his video quite a bit !of course for the Technologyn but also your narrative and silly comments i have a theory that sometime in our future we will be driving Cars and Flying onAirplanes put together with Hot Melt Glues LOL I spent 35 years in the ArchitectualWoodworking Industry with a Company that Specialized in building CustomCabinetry and woodwoking the older Hot Glue was. a joke around my Industry , as we often thought of it as something that should only be used for Hobby People and was a great temporary way to hold something together over the Years 3M has really developed different compounds for almost every Industry and now we find it in everything that’s mass produced
Came across these for the first time this christmas, of course Big Clive has like 3 videos explaining it all! I made one using the 15 ohm coil found in old computer dvd drive stepper motors, with an LM358 generating the square pulse that repels the 5mm x 2mm neodymium magnet. Lucid Science youtube channel has a ton of projects based on coils and magnets.
I love real candles, but really dig my dancing flame. Googled the tech behind it and found this vid. Fascinating, as I like to build and solder AM radios for fun.
I bought a 5-light led candle set from Hobby Lobby and was so disappointed that they had an ugly yellow flicker when I put batteries in them. My husband is very handy with electronic and electrical projects so is there a straightforward video on how to change out this yellow flicker to a warm white?
My guess. "Designed Obsolescence"; the best looking candle, inexpensive, LED (long lasting)… If it falls, and breaks since it is made of wax I'm pretty sure that the company doesn't cover "wear and tear" (accidents).
Hi where could I buy those 8mm LED bulbs I need to replace one in a candle that has become dim
