An automatic ignition and extinguishing candle comprising a candle body with one or two wicks, an electric arc lighter or arc generating circuit for ignition, a fan-based air blower for extinguishing, and a motion sensor for triggering the extinguishing. The single wick version utilizes an electric arc lighter with two electrodes positioned beside the wick, while the two-wick design employs wicks made of combustible and electrically conductive materials, allowing the wicks themselves to serve as electrodes for arc generation. The motion sensor detects nearby motion and activates the air blower to extinguish the flame. Additional features may include a microcontroller for overall control, manual ignition and timed extinguishing capabilities, remote control operation, sound and light sensors for automatic ignition, and specific wick structures and conductive coatings. This invention provides a safe, convenient, and automated way to control the ignition and extinguishing of candles.
