I get that the MandleCandle uses patented microelectronic technology driven by heat from an environmentally friendly Lithium battery, BUT HOW? Does it rely on different densities of differently coloured waxes/fluids...bit like a lava lamp? I've only seen them on telly, so I wouldn't know! Ta! x

I Bought A Mandlecandle For My Mum And It Was Very Dissapointing. It Does Not Contain LED's. It Has 2 Different Colours Of Waxes One Colour Such As Orange In The Centre And A White Coating. When The Candle Burns Down Into The centre The Light Shines through The Orange Wax Giving The Seemingly White Candle An Orange Glow.
Mines May Have Just Been Damaged Though.

In this YouTube video, you can see that different colors are brighter on different sides of the base, so LED's are the light source.

Since you say it has a lithium battery (not mentioned in the ad), it turns on either from the heat or light of the candle flame (like the mugs that play Christmas carols when picked up) and the electricity is not generated by the heat of the flame which would work only if the thermopile was in the flame, which it obviously is not.

It looks to me like its just a plastic "candle" that lights up, changes colours, i had a lamp like that before and theres just tiny bulbs inside, nothing special really!!
