Arduino Candle

This candle made of an Arduino UNO, orange LEDs, 240Ω current limiting resistors, breadboard, some jumper wire, photoresistor and 10KΩ  pull-up resistor (optional), and tissue paper (or something that is translucent).

The photo resistor and 10KΩ  pull-up resistor part is for the delay.  So if you come close to the Arduino Candle, the photoresistor detects less light and decreases the delay. In other words, I just edited it to flicker faster when the photoresistor detects less light. 
(Actually I was too lazy to make a wind switch as shown here: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1192693288
Yup, I took the code by jerrya.net and edited it)
