Fake candles

As having a naked flame in theatre proves very difficult, (esp. for a smaller company, re: fire warden and all that) is anyone aware of a simple electronic equivilent someone could construct or buy that is readily available? Any websites that list this info?

I was involved in a production in Perth in which we used battery operated candles so they are definitely on the market. Perhaps try ringing the lighting and props companies listed under "Theatrical Supplies &/or Services" in the Yellow Pages (L-Z page 2530).

you can buy them from christmas supply shops
