Vintaged1 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Back in late 60's and early 70's, strobe candles were a big hit. They flicker when they burn and are very relaxing.Are there any oldtimers or newtimers who know what I'm talking about? I'm interested in the learning the techniques to make these. Does anyone have any clues? I can't believe google only brought 1 search result, and that was four years ago. Is there a conspiracy to keep Strobe Candles a top secret?Vintaged1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Flickering flames are what we try to avoid! I don't remember the strobe candles in the 60s. Incense burning, hair flowers, bell bottom pants, and pink lensed sunglasses I remember thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugman Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I had a strobe candle I bought in 72 or 73. It had three thick wicks and was made with several different colors of wax. Probably was about 3 or 4 inches across. I have been searching but haven’t found any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortal1 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I used to love strobe candles. Very easy to darken the room and use the candle flickering to put yourself in a trance state. The ones I had were on a stick and were like red and white (ish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkychateau Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Strobe candles were made with two closely-spaced (about 1/8” to 3/16”?) wicks. The combination of dimensions and updraft would cause the flame to extinguish and relight itself several times per second, making a popping sound to go with the blinking light.
