For some displays (Halloween, Christmas, etc.) the effect of candles in the display is desired, but the fire danger of using actual candles outweighs their use.
Someone has solved this problem elegantly using LED's. LEDtronics sells a product they bill as "Flameless LED Candle Flickers Like a Real Candle", and they really do look like real candles flickering in the breeze.
These "candles" are available with a frosted plastic sleeve and the LED unit itself. The LED unit can be used by itself, but the frosted plastic sleeve diffuses the LED unit's output making the resulting "candle flicker" so much more realistic.
The LED unit runs for days on just two AAA batteries. If you want to have a flickering candle effect in your display please consider using this product. Looking at several of these LED devices at night it's hard to tell that they're really not real candles. Price approx. $20 for five candles.
