1. An artificial pillar candle having an electrically powered flame simulator comprising: a substantially cylindrical body having permanent exterior surfaces comprising (a) an upper portion having a rim on an upper surface that circumscribes a recess, (b) a lower portion with a lower surface, and (c) a chamber therein, wherein the substantially cylindrical body is self-supporting on the lower surface and has a circumference with a central axis extending through the center of the upper portion and center of the lower portion; a flame simulator having at least two light sources located substantially within the recess; a circuit electrically connected to the light sources for intermittently illuminating at least one of the light sources independently of other light sources such that the light sources together provide the effect of a flickering movement; and a power source for providing power to the circuit.
