More to the point, i would like to see all the leads as I expect the two leads on the light are not on the candle. Sad thing is if I had two candles I would try it. Sad

Hi

You could use this method to light your motorhome but I think 4 candles would be better

Good Morning

Could there be a couple of batteries inside the candles - so the nails pick up the voltage by touching the battery contacts?
Easy to make a hole and re-seal it.
Also notice the leads jump when the motor turns on - could there be a switch being switched on?

Cheers
