  • the first light-emitting body When the two-gear slide switch is connected to neither of the second light-emitting bodies, as long as the power source is switched on, the first light-emitting body emits light and transmits the light to the upper surface of the candle body through the light guide body to form a light-emitting effect of the light guide candle wick, which is very vivid; when the two-gear switch is connected to the LED flash lamp, light emitted from the second light-emitting bodies shines in the candle body to achieve a flash effect; when the two-gear switch is connected to the seven-colored light lamp, the light emitted from the second light-emitting bodies shines in the candle body to achieve a seven-colored effect, and the second light-emitting bodies and the first light-emitting body emits light at the same time and the candle emits light of different effects at the same time, creating a very beautiful look.
  • the several light-emitting bodies are connected in parallel, controlled by multiple gears of a multi-gear slide switch respectively, and then connected to the first light-emitting body in series.
  • a light-blocking body is disposed at the lower end which extends from the upper surface of the light guide candle wick.
  • the light-blocking body is a black or white wick formed by wrapping a black or white plastic sheet or a black or white wick formed through dyeing, so that the effect of the electronic candle is more vivid as if the lower end of the wick does not emit light or is burned black.
  • a timing control device is disposed in the electronic control device.
  • the timing control device selects a timing function through a jumper switch.
  • the beneficial effect is that, through the reasonable structure, light emitted from the first light-emitting body in the cavity in the candle body is transmitted to the light guide candle wick on the upper surface of the candle along the light guide body; meanwhile, other several second light-emitting bodies control, through the multi-gear slide switch, light emitted from lamps with different light effects in the cavity in the candle body to shine through the semitransparent candle, creating a very beautiful look.

  • the optical fiber passes through a top of the candle body and extends to an upper surface of the candle body to form an optical fiber candle wick.
  • the beneficial effect is that, compared with the electronic candle in the prior art, the electronic candle of the present invention has complete functions and accurate timing, can select the timing level according to an actual situation, and can transmit bright light through the optical fiber; meanwhile, the three-position slide switch controls the LEDs in the candle body so that the candle provides various light effects, creating a more beautiful look.
  • an electronic candle includes a candle body 1.
  • a cavity 2 is disposed in the candle body 1.
  • a first light-emitting body 3 and an electronic control device 4 for controlling operation of the first light-emitting body 3 are mounted in the cavity 2.
  • the first light-emitting body 3 is an LED and is directly connected to a power source through the electronic control device 4.
  • the first light-emitting body 3 is connected to an optical fiber light guide body 5.
  • the optical fiber light guide body 5 passes through a top of the cavity 2 and extends to an upper surface of the candle body 1 to form an optical fiber light guide candle wick 6.
