Battery powered Xmas Candles

[Banshee]

We have a 2 1/2 year old that is too curious for her own good. Quite frankly we are too leery of leaving the plug in candles in the windows because we KNOW she wil get to them and cause all sorts of mischief and possibly injure herself. I can't win the fight about not putting the christmas candles up...thats one battle not worth fighting..but I'm wondering if I can score one for the Flash-a-holics by finding a long lasting LED based battery powered window candle.Anyone see such a beast?

haven't seen one but you could just get a piece of pvc pipe that fits 3c cells, install an LED an a resistor in one end and put in a candle holder.

Google "LED candles" and you'll find a bunch. Here's a 2AA candle at $3.49 each, $12.99 for a 4-pack.

Depending on where you are... I was at Menards about 3 weeks ago, in there Xmas isle(s) was an LED candle that cought my eye. It was about 5-6 bucks and I believe it ran on 2x'AA' batteries, and had a white LED. the catcher was this... when I read the package it said, When the batteries were installed and the switch was turned on it started an internal timer. The 'candle' would stay on for 8hrs and then turn off for 16hrs, and repeat the cycle. I was with my wife so I couldent get one to disect, and a week later when I was there by myself, they were all gone. Anyone else see these???

Picked up a pair of these @ the local True Value...They'll last all season on 2 C batteries..but they are not very bright...maybe I can get someone to mod them to a brighter LED for next season
