The artificial fireplace includes an enclosure delimited by a lower wall, an upper wall and a peripheral wall. The peripheral wall includes an opening, a bed of fake embers being disposed inside the enclosure on a base defined by the lower wall. The enclosure is also provided with a projector for an image, in particular animated flames, towards a display screen disposed in the enclosure in a line of sight extending through the opening. The display screen is defined by a transparent glass plate extending between the bed of fake embers and the projector, while forming, in relation to the incident ray emanating from the projector, an angle ranging between 50° and 56°. The projector is defined for broadcasting images, in particular animated flames, through a linear polarized light. The invention also relates to a fireplace unit or stove comprising an artificial fireplace.

Methods, systems, and devices relating to an electronic scented candle that is convenient to use and enables rapid generation and dissipation of scented materials are described. One electronic candle device includes a shell that has a through hole, a flame element protruding through the through hole, an installation lid including a locking base to allow removable coupling of a fragrance container, a scent chamber including a locking clip, a first channel, a second channel, a third channel, and a fourth channel. The scent chamber is removably coupled to the locking base by the locking clip, and an air pump provided to supply pressurized air.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provides an electric lighting apparatus for stimulating at least one sensory effect on a user. The electric lighting apparatus comprises one or more light sources arranged to be in contact with a diffuser for causing diffusion of flameless light generated by the one or more light sources, wherein each of the one or more light sources is operable at a time interval. The electric lighting apparatus further comprises an aroma compartment being operable to dispense aroma while providing the diffused flameless light. The electric lighting apparatus further comprises an output unit being operable to provide an audio output, wherein the diffused flameless light, the aroma, and the audio output stimulate the at least one sensory effect on the user.

An apparatus, system, and method for lighting effects, including simulating a flame. A three dimensional carrier includes an array of a plurality of light sources distributed on it. A control circuit coordinates on/off of the light sources in a manner to simulate a jumping flame. In one embodiment, the three dimensional carrier and LEDs are encapsulated in an at least partially light transmissive cover. This light modular engine includes a control circuit and an interface to electrical power. The system can include the light engine in a light fixture such as an architectural fixture. The methodology can include a sequence of on/off and brightness variations for the array of light sources.

Methods, systems and devices associated with a scented electronic candle are described. In one example, an electronic candle includes an outer shell with one or more openings configured to allow a fragrance to exit to an ambient environment of the electronic candle. The outer shell comprises a central opening such that a flame element protrudes at least partially through the central opening. The device includes a light emitting component to emit a light onto the movable flame, and a mounting base positioned below the movable flame element. The device also includes a scent storage component removably coupled to the mounting base. The scent storage component includes a container to store a fragrance and an absorption member configured to draw the fragrance to the ambient environment of the electronic candle through the one or more small openings of the outer shell.

An illumination device (e.g., an electric candle, etc.) generally includes a shell, a housing coupled to the shell, a flame-shaped head disposed at least partially outside of the shell, and a pendulum supporting the flame-shaped head. The pendulum is pivotally coupled to the housing and configured to move the flame-shaped head relative to the housing. The illumination device also includes a first light source configured to illuminate the flame-shaped head, a second light source arranged inside the shell and configured to illuminate the shell, and a printed circuit board assembly operable to control the first light source to illuminate the flame-shaped head and the second light source to illuminate the shell.

A method for simulating a candle flame with at least one computing device. The method may include controlling at least one lighting element according to at least a current wind value and a current flame value. The method may include controlling the current wind value and the current flame value by iteratively determining whether a first event occurred. When the first event is determined to have occurred, the method may include setting the current wind value to a random wind value and then changing the current wind value toward a baseline wind value. When the first event is determined to have not occurred, the method may include changing the current wind value toward the baseline wind value, determining whether a second event occurred. When the second event is determined to have occurred, the method may include setting the current flame value to a random flame value.

Simulated flame devices are shown and described having first and second diffusers, each with a sheet having a series of lines etched or embedded on the sheet. A PCB is disposed behind the first and second diffusers and comprises a plurality of light sources disposed or embedded on the PCB. The first and second diffusers may wrap about the PCB to create a 360 degree effect, and the diffusers themselves act to stretch the light emanated from the light sources in a vertical direction. The use of the two diffusers along with changing a brightness of some or all of the light sources over time simulates a moving flame.

A flameless candle may include: a frame; a light source configured to project light; a flame element including a body, an interior region within the body, an interior surface between the interior region and the body, and an outer surface of the body, wherein the flame element is configured to receive the light in the interior region, such that the light passes through the interior surface, then through the body, and then through the outer surface of the body; and at least one support arm coupling the flame element to the frame, wherein the flame element is configured to receive a mechanical force and responsively move with respect to the frame, and wherein the at least one support arm includes a flexible material.
