I get the feeling that the ebay seller listing these had just copied chunks of text from a listing for the small clear underwater LED candles. Despite the listing it isn’t the slightest bit waterproof, and doesn’t actually even flicker.
Other than that it’s actually quite well made. It uses two decent sized AAA cells, has a novel switching method where you just press the flame down to turn it on and off, and the complete lack of flickering of the very evenly lit plastic flame is actually a good result.
The candle should be easy enough to hack your own colour choice of LED into, although note that it just has 2 cells, so will not run blue, green or white LEDs very brightly. It uses a straw hat style 4.8mm LED.
