An illumination device (e.g., an electric candle, etc.) generally includes a shell, a housing coupled to the shell, a first light source, and a pendulum supporting the first light source generally above the housing, wherein the pendulum is pivotally coupled to the housing and configured to move the first light source relative to the housing. The device also includes a flame-shaped head, where the first light source is disposed within the flame-shaped head, and a second light source arranged inside the shell and configured to illuminate the shell from the inside out. A printed circuit board assembly is arranged inside the shell for controlling operation of the first light source and the second light source.

A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto one or more reflectors, or mirrors, that reflect light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The dipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements “intermittently dipping” into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

A flame simulator includes a light beam source that projects a beam of light, a flame screen, a light beam mover that imparts movement to at least a part of the light beam source, and a range limiter. The light beam source includes a light source adapted to produce light and at least one light conditioner adapted to act on the light from the light source to produce the beam of light with a color, size and shape that mimics a flame when the beam strikes the flame screen. The range limiter is operatively associated with the light beam source so that the beam of light, when being projected, strikes at least a portion of the flame screen and causes illumination of the flame screen by the beam of light.

Provided is an electric fireplace system for simulating the light and sound effects of real burning fuel. The system includes modular components that are configured to be packaged, shipped, stored and assembled in a deconstructed state. The electric fireplace system comprising a modular fireplace insert comprising an insert housing that defines a cavity. A simulated fuel source for simulating a fire display, the simulated fuel source includes a first housing that is configured to be positioned in the insert housing. A heater assembly for generating warm air, the heater assembly including a second housing that is configured to be positioned in the insert housing at a positioned spaced from and above the simulated fuel source within the cavity of the insert housing.

An indoor-outdoor novelty device which simulates moving open flame from the upper end of a standing torch. The device provides a realistic illusion of a bright flame changing its shape and brightness pseudorandomly thru a unique combination of lighting, motion, and airflow under microcontroller control. The device can be viewed from a vantage point in a 360-degree perimeter around the device without compromise to the effect.

A streamer type flame simulation device includes a casing, some cross-flow fans disposed inside the casing, a first streamer, a second streamer, a supplementary air-supplying device and a light source. The supplementary air-supplying device is arranged in the split joint area between the two cross-flow fans. Since a supplementary air-supplying device is provided between two cross-flow fans for supplying air, the deficiency where air was unable to deliver at the space occupied by the drive motor of the cross-flow fans can be avoided. Various parts of the first streamer and the second streamer can be blown, thus preventing the flame from being cut off and enhancing the overall coordination, which greatly improves the viewing effect of the flame area.

A flame simulating device has a light source which is reflected by a rotating device which has mirrors which are spaced apart. The spaced apart mirrors rotate, and thus provide a selective reflection, at some points reflecting during time and at other points not reflecting during time. This produces a flickering effect. The flickering effect is shown through a cut out in the shape of the flame, to display a simulated flame devi effect. The display screen for the simulated effect can be a part mirror, and can display, for example, an artificial log mixed in with the flame effect.

Disclosed is a swinging flame head device, comprising a fixed housing (1), a flame head housing (5), a light source (61) and a spring (4). The fixed housing (1) has an internal space and an upper opening, the flame head housing (5) comprises a stereoscopic flame-shaped portion and has an internal hollow structure, and the flame head housing (5) is at least partially located above the upper opening of the fixed housing (1). The light source (61) is arranged inside the flame head housing (5), and light rays emitted from the light source (61) illuminate the flame head housing (5) from inside to outside from the interior of the flame head housing (5). The spring (4) has an upper and a lower end, wherein the flame head housing (5) is supported on the upper end of the spring (4), and the disturbance of the spring (4) brings about the movement of the flame head housing (5) relative to the fixed housing (1), or the light source (61) is fixed to the upper end of the spring (4), and the disturbance of the spring (4) brings about the movement of the light source (61) relative to the fixed housing (1). The device has a simple structure, and generates a decorative lighting effect of flame flickering at any angle.
