How to find electric CandlesBattery operated candle compilation My question: Are there reliable, inexpensive battery-operated candles to be found? If so, where? The responses: Battery operated candles are available through MusicK8 Marketplace. They keep them in stock, and sell them by the zillions every year. Kandle Lights from http://www.musick8.com/marketplace/ --- I found battery operated candles at Lowes and Hobby Lobby for less that $1 a piece. The batteries probably cost more than the candle! --- Please visit our web site at http://www.emersonenterprises.com/chaccess.htm for a photo and prices. --- Target usually has these around Xmas time. I always stock up during the after Christmas sales, just in case. A lot of people don't like these because the are obviously fake. There have been discussions in the past, you might want to search the archives (or rec.music.makers.choral using www.deja.com) --- Our school bought some electric candles but we were never pleased with them. The cheap ones work but the "candle" effect is lost. I think there are more expensive versions that are effective but we needed well over 100. --- I purchased several of these at Target. I don't know if Target exists in your area, however they have usually stocked a great number of them during the holiday shopping months. You may also wish to try Walmart. --- I got these candles for my choir in the Gamble Catalog, Chicago, IL. --- I would try a halloween store (or website)..some sort of party supply place...this is a good time to look for them with Halloween around the corner. --- I found them at a crafts store called AC Moore. I don't know if they're national or not, but they do have a website. Check out www.acmoore.com. I have to tell you that the idea didn't turn out so great. The candles cost about $1.00 each, which isn't bad, but then figure all of the batteries!!! Two AA's per candle. Plus they were soooo sensitive, they ended up flickering, not turning on, and shutting off ompletely. It was a nice effect.....but I tried it with over 100 high school students and would not recommend it!! --- Thanks for all the replies! -- Tony Bernard, Music Ministries Director St. Andrew United Methodist Church 3455 Canton Rd.

Chicago, IL." I just saw this posting above. I am looking for information on GAMBLE'S Store in Chicago. Can you tell me more about the store/catalog you got your candles from? THANKS.
