Normal candle: hey LED candle! I’m made of wax!
LED candle: so am I.
Normal candle: people can put me out just by blowing on my flame!

LED candle: same here.
Normal candle: …
LED candle: people can put me ON just by blowing on my flame.
Normal candle: WAT
LED candle: BURN!

LED candle: I also come in two shades.
LED candle: And I don’t set houses on fire…

There’s really not much I can say about this oddity, except that it’s a handmade candle featuring the likeness of Mario, along with what I think are some butterflies and ribbons.

The artist says that the outside won’t burn so you can reuse the candle with a tealight inside…

This fun and funky candleholder by Mixko is inspired by a timeless classic, the Atari 2600 joystick.

Designers Alex Garnett and Nahoko Koyama are expected to show these at the upcoming ICFF contemporary furnishings show in New York later this week. Pricing and availability hasn’t been announced yet.

These minimal LED lights are designed to act like a real candle by flickering in the wind, and automatically turning off when you blow on them.

The clever design even includes a giant “matchstick” which turns the candle on when struck against the side of the tubular silicon fixture. Each candle comes with its own charging base which can provide up to 8 hours on a single charge…

The folks over at Boing Boing dug up this fun little stop-motion video features a handful of arcade classics, brought to life through the magic of candle-mation (that is, animation done completely with tealight candles).

Pac-man, Pong, Space Invaders and Tetris all make an appearance, along with a nice little musical Mario tribute. Now wasn’t that fun?..
