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 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.

Various embodiments of electric lighting devices and, in particular, electric candles are described. The devices can include a flame element onto which light can be projected from a light source. Preferably, the light is projected within a focal area on the flame element. The housing of the devices can include projections that help maintain a vertical position of a circuit board within the housing.

Methods, systems and devices associated with an electronic candle are disclosed. One example includes an electronic candle includes an outer shell including a through-hole, a light-emitting assembly including a flame sheet configured to protrude through the through-hole, an inner shell positioned within the outer shell, and a self-locking device positioned within a cavity of the inner shell. The self-locking device is configured to operate in (1) a locked state when a switch locks a spring in a compressed state and (2) an unlocked state when the switch releases the spring to be in a relaxed state. The electronic candle also includes a bottom case such that the bottom case is enclosed within the outer shell when the self-locking device is in the locked state and the bottom case is exposed to an external environment beneath the outer shell when the self-locking device is in the unlocked state.

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 LED simulated flame device includes a semi-transparent diffusion cover in a candle flame shape, a light-emitting lamp plate, and a control circuit module. The light-emitting lamp plate includes a PCB substrate, and several LED chips shading between brightness and darkness at random, and the LED chips include an up-lighting LED chip that is located on a top edge of the PCB substrate, emits light upward, and is configured to project light and shadows onto a middle upper portion of the diffusion cover, two mid-lighting LED chips that emit light toward a front surface of the diffusion cover, are configured to project light and shadows onto a middle portion of the diffusion cover, and are located on front and back surfaces of the PCB substrate, and a down-lighting LED chip that corresponds to a bottom portion of the diffusion cover, emits light upward, and is configured to supplement light.

Various components for artificial candles and other lighting devices are described that can be used to create a realistic flame effect in the devices. The devices include a flame element that extends upwardly from a housing. A light source can be disposed with respect to the flame element such that the flame element is illuminated. A variety of drive mechanisms could be disposed within the body of the device that can cause movement of the flame element with respect to the housing. The flame element can be coupled to a housing or mounting bracket of the device using various components to suspend the flame element within the housing.

The present disclosure relates to products and methods for modifying the reflection of a light source in a fireplace and other products.

An imitation flame lamp head includes a mounting base, a drive device, an elastic shaft, a flame piece and an illuminant. The drive device is fixed in the mounting base, an upper end of the elastic shaft is fixed to a lower end of the flame piece, the flame piece is protruded outwards the mounting base, the illuminant is configured inside the mounting base to emit lights to a side of the flame piece, and the elastic shaft is driven by the drive device to actuate the flame piece to swing. The lamp displays flaming and flickering effect of faux flame to achieve an excellent imitation effect.

Imitation candle devices and systems with enhanced features are described that facilitate remote operation and usage of electronic candles. The disclosed features include application programs running on a processor of a mobile device and a detachable wireless transceiver included within an imitation candle to facilitate the electronic candle to be turned on or off remotely. In some embodiments, when a user blows into the microphone of the mobile device the imitation flame of the electronic candle is moved according to the speed of the blow. In some implementations, parameters such as a flicker speed, a flicker color, a duration of flickering, are changed using signals that are received from the mobile device.
