Hi all,
I have a pack of LED tealight candles from the £1 shop. Each one runs one a little battery. What would be the easiest and cheapest way (or an alternative product?) to adapt these to work on the mains?
Essentially, I would like four of these little flickering LED lights placed around the fireplace, so that at night they flicker on through the darkness, at almost no electricity cost - but add an ambience to an otherwise dark room.
I've searched and searched, ebay and otherwise, for a mains powered tealight candle - or even, ideally, a bayonet flickering LED bulb. Everything I've found hasn't been simple enough or hasn't flickered.
I did have one idea - I bought from poundworld a 240v "nightlight". A square plastic plug, essentially, which contained a solitary LED bulb. I thought perhaps I could a few metres wire from this to some of the tea lights.
I also bought a pound solar LED light, and thought perhaps I could replace this LED with the flick circuitry one, and have it auto turn on at night, and charge through the day. This would be nice and idea - except that the solar charger seems to be rubbish, of course.
Any thoughts on how I can get several LED flicking bulbs around my fireplace and running off the mains?
Many thanks![/img]
