Awhile back I managed to complete my Weber lantern collection. Some units had candles, some units had weirdly melted candles, and some none at all. After assembling a few I decided the traditional candle route seemed less than ideal. My wife and I had some remote LED candles that we have used around Christmas time and I thought this was the perfect route to take. After looking around I found these:

One thing about these candles is that for the remote control to work you do have to leave them in the on position. This could in theory drain the battery, but I am hoping that with them being LED it won't be significant and will be lasting.
So I had the candle, but needed to make sure they wouldn't rattle around in the Lantern. I thought the idea of using a magnet would be great, but they are made of aluminum so that idea went down the drain. The next best thing I could come up with was velcro with adhesive. I found some cheap strips for under $3. I chose a size that was 3/4" wide to cut into squares because this is the approximate width of the battery cover. This should make battery changes easier as the adhesive won't need to be removed. So now I only need to open up the lantern if there is a drained battery. SCORE!
The remote has an On, Off, 4 Hour, 6 Hour, and 8 Hour function and as long as the remote is pointed in the general direction of the lantern it appears to work quite well. The lights have a flicker like a traditional candle and put off just enough light to see a bit in the dark. Its more mood lighting a reading lamp. This is MUCH EASIER and I am very happy with the results.
Pictures to come...
