For over five thousand years, human beings have relished the simplicity and beauty of the candle as a light source. From the ancient Egyptians to the time of the Georgians it reigned supreme. Now, in the early 21st Century, it has been reinvented to thrill a new generation more accustomed to the switch-on convenience of electricity. For this is a candle that, quite simply, changes colour every two to six seconds. A candle whose colour change you can influence. 'How can that be possible?', the quick-witted among you will be asking. Quite so. How indeed.

The magic of LED and micro-processor technology is, as so often these days, the answer. Sited at the base of the Luna candle, the electronic 'brain' of the outfit receives pulses from an optical sensor near the wick. When relayed to the LED, what results is a simply breathtaking array of colour changes inside the column of the candle itself. Furthermore, this waxy contraption is fully programmable with up to six distinct colour changes of anything from two to six seconds in duration, making it a fascinating and absorbing distraction for any room - not to mention a truly captivating combination of ancient and modern technologies. Let there be light.
