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.

A torch burner cap includes a wick holder, an indention defined in the cap and surrounding the wick holder, and a mesh insert at least partially situated within the indention in the cap and surrounding the wick holder.

A support pole is received in a pole receiver. The pole has an outwardly biased spring tab that is compressible by an inside surface of the pole receiver until the spring tab is inserted to a location above a top surface of the pole receiver, thereby creating a secure attachment of the torch assembly to the pole.

An apparatus having a flame bowl, a shroud surrounding the flame bowl, and a fitting connected to an underside of the flame bowl is disclosed. At least two wick holders are disposed in the flame bowl. The shroud connects to the flame bowl along a top thereof and is spaced apart from the flame bowl along a bottom thereof.

A Smart Candle Platform may be configured to produce candle light using a natural wax candle as its fuel source or any other fuel source capable of producing light, including liquid fuels if so configured. The outer shell, inner cover, top cover and base provides a beautiful exterior shell which does not melt but emulates the look of a traditional pillar candle. The outer shell may be changeable/replaceable allowing for style and or seasonal changes. A Smart Candle Platform having multiple interactive systems and sensors for production of natural light via a safe, controllable device which may communicate with other similar configured devices or smart devices having application software embedded therein i.e. a smart phone having an app. is disclosed. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for auto-extinguishment. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for the addition of smells or scents.

An automatic ignition and extinguishing candle comprising a candle body with one or two wicks, an electric arc lighter or arc generating circuit for ignition, a fan-based air blower for extinguishing, and a motion sensor for triggering the extinguishing. The single wick version utilizes an electric arc lighter with two electrodes positioned beside the wick, while the two-wick design employs wicks made of combustible and electrically conductive materials, allowing the wicks themselves to serve as electrodes for arc generation. The motion sensor detects nearby motion and activates the air blower to extinguish the flame. Additional features may include a microcontroller for overall control, manual ignition and timed extinguishing capabilities, remote control operation, sound and light sensors for automatic ignition, and specific wick structures and conductive coatings. This invention provides a safe, convenient, and automated way to control the ignition and extinguishing of candles.

A wireless lighted system includes a base with an electrically powered inductive coil and a translucent organic resin pyramid having encapsulated therein a plurality of wireless inductive LEDs within the organic resin that emit light when the pyramid is placed on or near the base.

The invention relates to a boron-free impregnating solution for a wick, a boron-free wick, and a candle comprising a wick according to the invention. The invention further relates to a method for impregnating a wick with an impregnating solution according to the invention.
