LED is now an alternative replacement for tabletop candles. Its safer, worry free and reusable but expensive.
This instructable is aimed to create an LED tabletop candle using recyclable materials that is as functional and as elegant as those available in the market.
What makes a LED work? Inside each LED is a small bit of chemical that when electrons are passed through, it emits radiation.
By changing this chemical compound, you can in effect change the wavelength emitted - infrared, green/blue/red, near-ultraviolet, etc.
LED uses a passage of electron from a polarized chemical which in effect makes it
directional (or Direct Current DC).
MULTIPLE COLOR LED uses different chemicals that is interconnected in succession depending on the relation of its polarity. Basically there are only three main color RED, BLUEand YELLOW(GREEN). RANDOM combine illumination produces all other spectrum, as for example RED and YELLOW produces ORANGE; BLUE and YELLOW produces GREEN and so on and so forth.
An RGB LED or MULTI COLOR LED is actually three single color LEDs (Red, Green and Blue) combined into a single package. Because of this controlling it is very similar to controlling a single color LED.

1. Gather all necessary available materials. I'm using materials from recyclable gift wrapper and ornaments I've kept from past occasion. I bought my LED light from local electronic store, cost me 10 pesos Php. The 3 LR44 batteries cost me 45 pesos Php.

1. Changing color LED 1. white frosted cylinder case 1.adhesive or
2. 3x LR44 button battery (plastic or glass) scotch tape.
3. 1/2 inch aquarium hose I'm using a watch case 2. scissor
4. soda plastic cap (white) 2. Ribbons, ornamental
