where to buy electric fire coals and LED effect

[spuorgelgoog]

Hi

I want to update a rather naff electric fire which I got with the flat.

I need some red/orange glass (or plastic) 'chunks' for use as coals. All I can find online are imitation pebbles or black coals. Seems glass chunk coa ls fell out of popularity sometime in the 1970s :-(

Also an LED flicker flame effect to go under the coals and be powered by 24

0V. All I have at the moment is a lightbulb. There's no 'spinner' so I want something moving. The firebox effects sold for model railways are probabl y underwhelming in this application, and bigclive's RGB LED controller over kill.

The 'fire' doesn't get hot as all the heat is provided by a fan heater in t he canopy.

Thanks

Owain

Somewhere or other I have have a large ish box of red/orange glass 'coals' removed from an equally naff heater from my late fathers house. If I can find them you're welcome to them for p+p. Can't help with the lighting as the heater was binned yonks back. Might a couple of flicker effect candle lamps do the job? Nick
