Suggestions for Jack O' Lantern lights

I've used those little 'flicker candles' battery with bright white LED simulates a candle. Go to stationary store and buy transparency plastics, use the orange one, cut to size, only need on the front side.

I just use the little battery operated tealights. If one isn't bright enough, use more than one. They're small enough that you can simply carve out a small ledge in the interior sidewall of the pumpkin to set one higher up inside. I use the color-changing tealights, which I picked up at a Kmart for about $2.50 for a 4-pack. The kids really like the changing colors.

Do you mean those little "tea lights", like these?

I'm afraid that won't be bright enough and some of the customer reviews agree. Also, I prefer 100 AC over batteries.

tinyurl crashes my system, so can't check, but probably yes.

I envisioned portable. so fixed, use those new LED lights, they're cool and provide 40-60W of light.

Where do you live, that has 100 VAC?

I just put plenty of orange led lights in my pinball machine. A google search reveals many sources.

superbrightleds.com is a very good company.

They have something that might work, thanks

We always used C-7 christmas tree lights. We had a short "candle": light we packed away just for pumpkins. Fortunately these days, they already have their Christmas stuff out in a lot of stores.

I was resistant to these because (a) they are not bright enough, (b) they require batteries, which are expensive and inconvenient, and (c) they have to be turned off individually, whereas I can just unplug the power strip that powers all of the AC bulbs.

But after reading your suggestion, I found some tealights that have a timer that turns them on for 4-5 hours once a day. With your suggestion of using more than one, I think I'll get a pack and give them a try.

Thanks

No but orange cellophane is easy to find.

We use a flickering LED tea candle. About as bright as a real tea candle, so it's fine for the effect we're looking for. Obviously, YMMV.
