I was researching such candles for a Harry Potter halloween party at The Castle, where we wanted to have a sky of floating candlesticks overhead on invisible wires - no real flames are allowed in a Class A Occupancy room. I found a clever guy at Cornell University who developed such a candle - it had a random flicker circuit, AND ... a thermistor that would sense the wind flow, which lowered the average light value accordingly when a breeze wafted by. Extremely clever! Mr. Google can tell you more about it. Needless to say, construction on the building has halted while the pipe organ is installed, then the carpet and furnishings will finish us up - Busses by the Castle in 2008?
