Candle Question

[nailit]

My mum gave me a candle (unwanted present). When lit, the class holder that its in it changes colour. Might seem like a daft question but is it the candle wax that's changing colour or is it something in the glass holder that's changing colour?

Send it to me and I'll investigate.

[nailit]

Two nuns sitting in the dark. One nun says, "Wheres the candles?" T'other nun replies, "Does, doesn't it."

[nailit]

Sorry Sam, cant have mine. I like it to much. Shame that it will have to burn out eventually. Its mad how it changes from red to blue to pink etc.

[nailit]

The old ones are the best ones ken ;-)

Hiya Nailit...hope you're well, buddy.

Seems to be a difference of opinion on this forum......very cool though.

I'm good thanks Yogi, cant seem to see anything on that link though that relates to this query?

[nailit]

perhaps I'm missing something?
(that's entirely possible)

....And that's why I'm a DJ.....you could ask QI...they'll know. ☺

I think a strand of optical fibre alongside the wick senses the light of the flame and activates a set of colour LEDs at the candle's base. Once ignited, the candle then creates a display of continually shifting coloured light, from blues to reds... and almost every shade in between.

[Togo]

When it has burnt down Nails, if you dismantle the base you should find a battery and either LEDS or a colour changing LED in the base, it will either be a colour changing LED or a cluster of more than one colour, plus perhaps a tiny chip. Do tell us after it has expired.

[nailit]

Thanks for that Togo. A bit to go yet before its burnt down.

[Buenchico]

Togo forgot to mention that it's actually infra-red light which the sensor detects:

Be joss sticks next Nails and perhaps a set of Gregorian Chant CDs? :))

[nailit]

LOL Togo, I've ALWAYS got incense burning and candles on the go. Not a big fan of Gregorian chants tho...

Thanks for the vid Chris :-)
