ABSTRACT:
A replica flame for simulating a flame on a wick extending from a top of a candle positioned in a candlestick. The replica flame includes a three-dimensional flame body and a rigid pin connected to extend from a base side of the three-dimensional flame body. The rigid pin includes a pointed end opposite the connection with the three-dimensional flame body, the rigid pin being able to pierce the top of the candle for releasably connecting the three-dimensional flame body to the top end of the candle at the wick. When releasably secured to the top of the candle, the replica flame creates an illusion of a flame burning on the wick of the candle thereby producing the appearance that the candle is lit. The three-dimensional flame body may include a vertical groove on one side thereof for receiving the wick of the candle and is preferably a pear shaped member having realistic colors of a natural flame duplicated thereon. The pear shaped member may include commercial coloring agents imbedded therein and applied onto an outer surface thereof, an additional treatment of glitter material or flame emulating reflecting agents, for optimizing realism as if the candle is really burning and/or an additional treatment of fluorescent material to optimize realism as if the candle is really burning.
