To provide a charging type electronic candle using a capacitor in which a troublesome battery change is unnecessary, and which can be used immediately by rapid charging even in the case of running out of the charge.

As for the electronic candle 1, if a charge voltage applied from an outside charger to terminals 7a, 7b for charge is applied to an electric double-layer capacitor 6 inserted into a main body 2, because the electric double-layer capacitor 6 is rapidly charged, a light-emitting diode 3 emits light, and a light-emitting lamp cover 4 glows like a flame. Thus, the electronic candle 1 can be used immediately by rapidly charging even in the case of the running out of the charge.
