Solved Flickering candle light

I want to create an effect of moving/flickeing candle flame. I was able to use param randomizer for intensity, but I was also hoping I can randomly move the flame a bit, so shadows dance like with normal candle. There's this plugin called phys randomizer that applies random forces to objects, but it doesn't seem to do anything to light object. So the question is - can I somehow attach my light to a dummy object by some spring force and then apply the random force to my light, so it would bounce back and forth?
 
Solution
I think I would try using an animation pattern with 4-5 animation steps placed very close together, almost but not quite right on top of each other. You could then vary the speed of each step in the animation pattern to make it flicker and move in a way that seems random. I haven't tried this but I have done something similar.
