(54) Wireless, energy-saving electronic candle


(57) An electronic candle (1) comprising a boxed frame (2) with an elongated shape defining the visible external body of the electronic candle (1); a light source (3); some photovoltaic panels (4) stably fixed on the external side wall (5) of the boxed frame (2), and is adapted to generate a first electric current (I1); a battery (6) generating a second electric current (I2); and an electronic control circuit (7) which provides a current supply (I3) to the light source (3) and is configured in such a way to switch to a rated power status, wherein it regulates the current supply (I3) in such a way that the latter has a first given value (I3a), when said first current (I1) has a value greater than zero; or alternatively, to a reduced power status, wherein it generates the current supply (I3) in such a way that the latter has a second constant given value (I3b) less than the first value (I3a), when the first current (I1) has a value equal to zero.
