LED and battery are encased in a plastic bulb, so the hot was doesn't get near them, the plastic buld opens up at the bottom to allow you to replace or recover the 9V battery block as well as the electronics. http://www.decoratieveverlichting.nl/DetailPlaatje.aspx?ArtikelNummer=REALCANDLELED This looks just like the Philips Imageo candles, only those ones are always lit, the base contains an RGB leds which is faded through an aray of colours, the candles burns down to the part containing the led and battery.

There must be some kind of framework to hold them in place too. In my experience most candles don't burn very completely. What happens to the LED and the battery?
