Candle Lite™ Unlimited Flicker Candle is Back by Popular Demand

Candle Lite™ Unlimited Candle part numbers 3474, 3475

Due to popular demand, City Theatrical's Candle Lite™ Unlimited Flicker Candles have returned and are available to order.

Real flames are very tightly regulated in live entertainment for safety reasons, often requiring special permits. Candles are often called for scripts. City Theatrical Candle Lite Unlimited Flicker Candles are an excellent way of simulating live candles on stage. They are remarkably realistic from a few feet away. They can be hand held and battery operated and have a built in on-off switch.

City Theatrical invites you to celebrate Halloween through the lens of lighting design. This season, we’re shining a spotlight on the designers, productions, and technologies that bring theatrical magic to life. From Broadway’s golden glow to the eerie flicker of cinematic light, lighting sets the tone for stories that captivate and enchant.

Our products help artists transform light into something unforgettable, whether it’s warm and inviting, or hauntingly atmospheric. We’re proud to support the creatives who use light to stir emotion, build worlds, and add a touch of Halloween mystery to every scene.

They required a robust wireless DMX/RDM solution with a reliable data transmission strategy.
