Claim Text:
1. An electronic flameless candle, comprising: a body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a sidewall between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a cavity defined by the top surface, the bottom surface and the sidewall, the body configured to simulate a true flame candle; and a light source operably connected to the body, the light source electrically operated to illuminate in a way that simulates a natural flicker of a real candle flame; control circuitry configured to switch between at least three different operational modes of the light source of the electronic flameless candle based on different received inputs; and a sensor component in communication with the control circuitry, the sensor component configured to sense different touchless inputs to switch between the at least three modes of the light source of the electronic flameless candle based on the different touchless inputs, wherein the sensor component includes a motion sensor and the touchless input includes a motion, and wherein the motion sensor is configured to output different signals associated with different sensed motions to switch among the at least three modes of the flameless candle.
