1. An electric light that simulates a flickering flame, comprising:

  • a housing;

    an elongated circuit board disposed within the housing and having a projection at a first end, wherein the housing includes first and second internal projections that couple to first and second sides of the circuit board such that a position of the circuit board relative to the housing is maintained;

    an electromagnet coupled to the projection, wherein the projection helps maintain a horizontal position of the electromagnet relative to the circuit board, and wherein the electromagnet is configured to produce a magnetic field;

    a pendulum pivotally mounted within the housing above the elongated circuit board and having (i) a magnet on a second end that interacts with the magnetic field thereby causing movement of the pendulum with respect to the housing, and (ii) a flame-shaped element on a first end opposite the second end; and

    a light source disposed within the housing such that light from the light source is emitted onto a face of the flame-shaped element.
