electric candle

Battery-powered fake light

An electric candle is a candle-shaped light designed to mimic the appearance of a flame without fire.

Most use small bulbs or LEDs, often with a flicker effect.

They appear in window displays, holiday decorations, and religious settings where real candles pose fire risks: The church switched to electric candles after the fire marshal's visit.
