Thread: Flame lights

Tweet

I would like to do MANY flame lights this year..... I Think I know how to do it, but I need to find a source for SMALL/MINI fans.
I want to use the fan and attach red yellow fabric or light weight paper to it with a light under it...
Anyway, anyone know where I could find some really small fans ? I would like to make candles like this so the smaller the fan the better !

Am I thinking this one through correctly ? Is that how they are made ?

American Science has some usually that are surplus

Here's the search for fans results

Hey !!! perfect ! Thanks, I looked for a while but didnt find these.... I shoulda known that Goldmine would have something !

Did I have this right..... ? Strips of colored cloth or paper (lightweight) attached to the fan with a light under it....

Thanks so much, I just ordered 15 of them !!! !.49 each ! GREAT

For the fabric, it's best to use white or orange silk cloth depending on the color of the bulb used to illuminate the fabric. What kind of bulb are you considering? Flame lamps usually use the smaller halogen bulbs, but perhaps you may try a couple LEDs.

My best flame lights use both blue and orange lights.

A couple years ago, Dollar Tree had flame pots. I wonder if this is something that can be found already made in China for cheap rather than build it yourself?

Wilbret, are those LEDs? How many do you use to achieve a good effect?

I think they are the MR-11 halogens.

Leds have one flaw in that they are almost too directional. (although I do have a flaming skull that uses LEDS)

So if I hunted the wed for them..... What are they called ? Flame lights ?

Or flame pots
