Abstract: A decorative, imitation candle is provided that simulates a lighted wood or wood-like wick by covering the lighting element, such as a LED, under or within a wood-like wick. Optionally, an electronic chip may be connected to a power source to provide sounds of wood burning or crackling when the lighting element is operating, and/or may be operated by remote control.

Abstract: A flameless candle molded into a jar is described. The jar is designed with an open bottom and is tooled for engagement with an electronic insert having batteries, control circuitry and at least one LED light. A candle is then formed in the jar with the electronic insert by molding a candle shell along the sidewalls of the jar. The candle shell is formed such that the sidewalls extend above the LED light of the electronic insert to allow the LED light to illuminate at a position below the sidewalls. The wax or waxen shell is formed only along the sidewalls, creating a hollow region above the electronic insert. Once the wax on the sidewalls sets, wax is then poured in the hollow regions above the electronic insert to a position just below or above the LED light.
