Induction rechargeable electronic candle system

An electronic candle, comprising:

• a housing;
• an LED light source positioned at least partially within the housing;
• a battery for energizing the LED light source;
• a microprocessor coupled to the LED light source and programmed to control illumination produced by the LED light source;
• and
• a sensor coupled to the microprocessor and configured to detect a tilt of the electronic candle, wherein the sensor includes a plurality of electrical contacts and a conductive material disposed within the sensor such that upon a tilt of the electronic candle device from an upright position, the conductive material comes in contact with at least a first electrical contact of the plurality of electrical contacts to generate a signal indicative of the tilt of the electronic candle device.
