Sean,
 can we get Candle Flames Effects , we talk about last-year  :D

you could make candles now.

i have a number of 6' candles i made out of coro.

i used 12v ws2811 strips. since they were in groups of 3 i just had 41 addressable node, there actually were 121 lights. the candles for me were

1-17 nodes going up the inside of candle
18-24 nodes were candle flame
25-41 nodes coming down the candle.

i built two models, flame and body
i had 6 candles to setup

i used the "display as" set to arches

for the body i set
arches as 12x17
i click the "Individual start channels" and set the starting channel # for each of the 12 segments.

for the flames i set 6x7
i again set individual start channel for each flame (arch)

now i had just  two models to sequence against

i could put fire into the flames model
at the same time i put in spirals, single strand, twinkle into the body.
