I am trying to find batter operated candles that are NOT LEDs. I want them to use chandelier bulbs. LEDs not bright enough. I want to use four of them to light a (small) stage.  
Help me Obi Wan KeStraight Dope. You’re my only hope.

[These](http://www.batteryoperatedcandles.net/654360-p-christmas.html) have incandescent bulbs but I don’t know how bright they are.

**Batter** operated candles. Not sure that’s very fuel efficient.
