The end result looked far better than I was expecting!

I'm sure I've read an interesting investigation into how commercial "candle" LEDs work. I just went off on a tangent looking for some of these. One just plays a tune!

Carlo,

A nice clean implementation, I especially like the casing that you used. Was this was some other 'bulb'?

I like what you were able to accomplish. Simulating real phenomena is always a challenge. You will have to give it the Turing test and see if someone at a distance can tell it from a real flame.

That is a pretty good looking simulation of a candle flame. Not to be critical, but I think it could use a bit of white light as the overall impression is that of orange tint (sure the camera might have been a little fooled with the intensity). Other than that it is a great teaching tool and the effect is quiet interesting. Did your son have the spellbound look while gazing upon it?

Well done!
