It's a neat tip. Not dull. I can picture it right now.

Actually, I've seen lights in camping stores designed to go with Nalgene water bottles to do just that. It's a flashlight built into the cap and it shines down into the bottle.

I find the design fascinating.
For example, the supports holding up the orbs are designed like screws
so that as the candle burns they can be lowered.
(at least that's my guess.)


ETA - Just noticed the candle holder is the same way... hmm.

I was thinking that also. But wasn't sure how the light shone through them.

I would guess there's a focus of some sort in the direction that goes from the candle flame through the center of the ball.

You set all the globes to the desired heights for the full candle, then raise the candle periodically, as it burns down.

Well, according to the soda bottle in my recycle bin, it is a 2 LITER bottle.

I just spells it like I's sees it!
