out of curiosity, i did an autopsy on one of those led flikering candles to see if it had some kind of control electronics...

there is NO electronics at all! the led has all the flickering built in. so if you want flickering cabins or lanterns, just pull the led out of the candles and wire m up in parallel with a 3v power source n you are good to go.

these led flickering tea lights are dirt cheap at dollar stores. so cheap, even the batteries, 2 AR44 buttons, are more expensive if bought seperately. i get m at dollar tree, 3 for $1.25. cant beat that!

so im going to make lanterns for all my ships.

Great idea. We probably have 30 of these flickering candles in the house. I hope she does not notice when a few are missing from the shelves and wind up on a model................ nah, not worth the grief, buying them as you describe is a better idea..... :)
