Interesting remote control

I found this interesting remote control. It's only $4.25 from here http://www.uscandleco.com/candle/remote-rainbow-candles.html near the bottom of the page.

It doesn't say if it is IR or not, but I would assume it is IR.

I may buy a couple to check them out.

P.S. Hmmm. Shipping is a little steep. If anyone is interested I'll see if I can pick them up in person (close to my house) and ship them to ya.

    That remote is the spitting image of one that was supplied with an in-car cigar socket mp3-to-radio transmitter gadget that last years Christmas tree kindly gave to me!

    It certainly is IR. Very small and light. A great idea to use it for something more worthy.

    Remote control electric 'real wax' candles with programable color !!!!!!!

    First impression is 'What next?'

    Still, the remote is a nice little unit without words, just colors and very open to hacking.

    Regarding the candles,
    They do offer a safe alternative to the real thing. Having had one retail busness burned to the ground by the store manager leaving a lit candle in the window a week before Christmas, I have to give these a 'thumbs up' for safety.
