Ok. I wasn't trying to tell you where to go, because there are different designs and price ranges out there. There are also "indoor" lighting needs which pretty much rule out real flame versus outdoor lighting needs where it's often best to stick with real flames. Here are a few URLs for you:

Flicker circuits, ready-made, for various incandescent and LED lamps:

If you need a more subtle flickering candle, then integrate these into your designs:
http://www.stagelightingstore.com and go to Shop By Brand > Rosco > Rosco Candles

There are others out there which are higher-end and more costly. And there are some circuits you can build from scratch if you're really into electronics. I am, but I also know when a project is not a ton of fun and I just need to buy ready-made so that I can focus on the design of the bar.

Do some Google searches on your own and you'll get more info. You do generally get what you pay for when you buy higher-end, so weigh your options carefully. If you're into electronics, have some fun and build some from scratch. It all depends on how much time you have or how quickly you need it.

Please let us know what you decide to do, and please come back and share some pictures of what you worked out.
