A socket with a night light function includes a housing, a connecting unit and a light emitting unit. The housing includes a base, a transmitting light member and a cover. The transmitting light member is sandwiched between the base and the cover. The connecting unit is disposed in the housing and is electrically connected to a plug. The light emitting unit includes a light emitting element disposed in the base, a photosensitive switch, a touch switch and a controller. The light emitting element, the photosensitive switch and the touch switch are all in signal connection with the controller. The photosensitive switch collaborates with the touch switch to control the operation of the light emitting element; the light intensity around the socket is increased by means of the light emitting element and the transmitting light member. The socket is convenient to use and has multiple functions.

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.

A night light assembly for soothing a child to sleep includes a housing that is structured to resemble a star to visually comfort a child. A light emitter is positioned within the housing to emit light outwardly through the housing thereby facilitating a child to be soothed by the light at night. A cassette reader is integrated into the housing and a cassette is provided that stores data comprising a pre-recorded audio message. The cassette is insertable into the cassette reader thereby facilitating the cassette reader to read the data on the cassette. A speaker is integrated into the housing to audibly emit the pre-recorded message outwardly through the sound slots.

The present invention is a lamp apparatus that includes a reservoir for flammable liquids and a wick that can be incorporated with a post and within the cap of a post, such as a deck or fence post. The apparatus can include an external housing that attaches to a post and contains and conceals the internal components of the lamp apparatus within the external housing. This external housing can resemble and function as the cap of a post. The apparatus may allow for a user to remove a snuffing cap from the top of the external housing and ignite the lamp's wick, which then allows the post to function as a torch. The apparatus may also allow for a user to place the snuffing cap back on the top of the external housing to extinguish the flame and discreetly conceal that a lamp is contained within the cap of the post.

A plug is attachable to a wall of a torch that is configured to burn a liquid fuel. The plug adds one or more features to the torch, such as a fuel level sensor, a temperature sensor, a tilt sensor, an automatic wick ignitor and/or extinguisher, a wick clamp, a wick advancing mechanism, and/or a global positioning system. The plug includes an electronic controller, and wired and/or wireless electronics configured to provide remote control and/or monitoring of the added features. Power for the plug can be provided by a battery and/or a solar panel. The controller can establish a unique torch identity, thereby enabling a remote computing device to monitor and/or control features of a plurality of torches that each have a plug of the present disclosure attached thereto. The plug can be removably or permanently attached to the torch.

A liquid fuel burning torch system maintains fuel within one or more torches by pumping fuel from a central reservoir to the torches via a plumbing system. The torches can be extinguished by reversing the flow of the fuel in the plumbing system, for example by reversing a pumping direction of the pump, switching pumps, or actuating flow reversal valves. The torches can include remotely controlled torch igniting mechanisms, wireless access for remote torch monitoring and/or control, and/or heat sensors for determining whether the torch is burning. The torches can include fuel overfill prevention (FOP) valves. A flow of fuel through the FOP valves can be directed so as to avoid impinging on plugs of the FOP valves. The FOP valves can include check valves that allow fuel to be drained from the torches even when the FOP valves are closed.

A multifunction decorative torch comprising has a base providing an upwardly directed light, a cap supporting a liquid fueled torch insert having a wick and a fuel reservoir, and an outer wall supporting the cap and defining an interior space between the base and cap. The upwardly directed light illuminates the outer wall from within the interior space. The liquid fueled torch insert is supported by the cap such that the wick burns outside the interior space between the base and cap and the fuel reservoir is at least partially inside the interior space between the base and cap.

The aim of the invention is to comfortably handle a combustion light, in particular in the form of a wind light, comprising a firing agent, preferably a wax candle, a base (3), and a preferably translucent housing part (2), and a carrier tray (4) for the firing agent. This aim is achieved, according to the invention, in that the carrier tray (4) is mounted on a cardanic suspension (5) about two axes (5b-5b; 5c-5c) in an overhead pivotable manner. The invention further relates to a suspension having a lower part, wherein the cardanic suspension (5) is pivotable about the two pivot axes thereof by more than 90°, in particular by 180°, wherein in said pivot position, the upper housing part (2) is arranged below as a base, and the lower part (3) is then positioned on the top as a covering.
