A device has a canister for attaching to a fuel container with a wick holder passing through the canister for holding a wick in a position to draw fuel from the reservoir for combustion proximate the top cap. A snuffer in the canister has a sleeve extendible from a first retracted position to a second extended position, the second extended position extending the sleeve partially beyond the wick holder. When the canister is upright the snuffer remains in the first lowered position and when the canister is tilted beyond a predetermined angle the spring moves the sleeve to the second extended position.

A semi-submersible gas burner assembly for a fire-on-water feature, the assembly including a tubular void former having nominal waterline disposed between proximal and distal ends and a separable lid engaging the distal end. The lid includes inner and outer peripheral skirts projecting toward and past the waterline, respectively. At least one gas manifold arm extends through and outward from the tubular void former, and includes a gas port disposed proximate the sidewall. The sidewall at the distal end includes a communicating aperture which fluidly interconnects the interior of the tubular void former with a flame retention chamber defined by the sidewall, the lid, the inner peripheral skirt of the lid, and the nominal waterline.

A metallic wick includes at least one mesh member having first and second ends disposed opposite to each other, first and second surfaces respectively extended from the first end to the second end thereof and arranged opposite to each other, a plurality of meshes penetrating the first and second surfaces between the first and second ends thereof, and a transport channel extending from the first end to the second end thereof and drawing fuel by capillary action.

The present invention relates to a candle-powered lighting apparatus including: a housing which accommodates a candle; a heat absorbing plate which absorbs heat generated by the candle; a heat radiating plate which radiates the absorbed heat; a thermoelectric element which is positioned between the heat absorbing plate and the heat radiating plate, and generates thermoelectromotive force using a temperature difference between a contact surface with the heat absorbing plate and a contact surface with the heat radiating plate; a lighting unit which emits light using the generated thermoelectromotive force; and a control unit which controls an operational state of the lighting unit to an on or off state.

Among other things, a system for lighting a light for an individual rising from a bed is provided. In particular embodiments, the system can include a mat and a light unit wirelessly connected, so that when an individual steps on the mat as he or she rises from the bed a signal is sent to the light unit, activating the light. A weight sensor in the mat can measure the weight placed on the mat, so that unintentional lighting can be avoided and so that weight information can be recorded. Embodiments can also include a signal transmitter to send weight and activation information to a remote receiver.
