Colonial Williamsburg did extensive research on this over the years, so you
may want to contact them. As I recall, Tom Taylor, Architectural
Conservator, led the project, but I may have remembered incorrectly.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Flameless or LED candles
> Hi,
>
> We want to purchase "flameless" (realistic LED) tapers for our historic
> house for an evening event this fall. I searched the archive and the last
> posting for this topic was in 2000, and there were no companies suggested.
> Is anyone buying LED candles that they're excited about: cost, appearance,
> operation? An internet search turns up a lot of sources but I thought I'd
> ask museums and see what they're happy with. We need tapers, without
> candlesticks or chambersticks, that we can put in our artifact chandeliers
> and candelabras. Do commercially available LED candles fit in older
> candlesticks or is that a consideration when ordering?
>
> Thanks,
> John Marks
