This LED candle runs from a PIC 12F675 and is powered by 4 AA batteries to make up a 6 volt power supply with a 1N4148 diode that has a 1 volt voltage drop to turn it into the 5 volts that the PIC requires. The LEDs used were 15,000mcd to make the “flame” very bright. Check out the parts list and circuit diagram at the link below.
