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.

A combination assembly or apparatus of a ceiling fan and heater. The combination assembly or apparatus includes a ceiling fan, a heater, a fan to blow air across the heater, a translucent band, motor driven rotating reflective foils each having mounted therein a light source (e.g. an LED) to shine through the translucent band to give a motion effect like a flickering.

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 a lighting device configured to mimic the appearance of a flame. In one embodiment, the lighting device includes a power subsystem configured to receive an alternating current input and to generate a direct current output. The lighting device also includes a reflector to reflect light generated by a lighting subsystem. A movement subsystem may move the reflector to mimic the appearance of a flame. A communication subsystem may receive at least one parameter associated with at least one of the lighting subsystem and the movement subsystem. A control subsystem may implement the at least one parameter.

A lighting device including: a lighting equipment lens unit; and a stand member on which the lighting equipment lens unit is placed, wherein the lighting equipment lens unit includes a lighting equipment lens in which a protruding portion capable of point-supporting the entire lighting equipment lens unit is formed, a center of gravity of the lighting equipment lens unit is located substantially coaxially with the protruding portion and below the protruding portion, the stand member includes: a housing having an opening; and a light transmitting placement portion that is placed in the housing and allows placement of the protruding portion, the stand member allows irradiation of light toward the opening through the light transmitting placement portion, and a surface of the light transmitting placement portion on which the protruding portion is placed is formed into a concave shape.

Methods, systems and devices associated with an electronic candle are described. In one example, an electronic candle comprises a housing having a through-hole at its top and a component shell. The component shell encloses a transfer mechanism including a driver motor and one or more gears positioned inside the component shell, a light emitting component coupled to the transfer mechanism such that the transfer mechanism causes the light emitting component to move vertically up or down to protrude from the housing or to retract into the housing, a lid positioned inside the component shell and movable to remain in at least one of an open configuration or a closed configuration, and a controller configured to turn on or off the light emitting component. The candle also includes a controller configured to turn on or off the light emitting component.

An electronic lighting device and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The electronic lighting device includes an outer shell with a first opening at a top surface and a core contained within the outer shell. The core includes a left semicircular structure and a right semicircular structure arranged to form a circular shape that is aligned with the first opening at the top surface of the outer shell. The device includes a flame component positioned partially in the internal cavity. The device also includes a light emitting element disposed at least partially in a lighting element installation cradle on a sidewall of the core to hold the light emitting element at a non-zero angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the electronic lighting device to allow illumination of the flame component. The device further includes a control circuit to control an operation of the lighting emitting element.

Systems and methods for determining lighting fixture arrangement information (e.g., position and/or orientation). A lighting beam from the lighting fixture is directed among three discrete locations on a reference surface (e.g., by a controller). The fixture's position is determined using perspective inversion based on angular changes of the lighting fixture and coordinate data of the discrete locations (e.g., determined using a camera and a reference point on the surface). Distances from the fixture to the three discrete locations are estimated based on perspective inversion. The position of the lighting fixture is trilateralized based on the distances. Spherical coordinates of the fixture's orientation relative to the reference surface are determined, and yaw, pitch, and roll of the fixture are extracted.

Disclosed are a candlewick and an electronic candle. The candlewick includes a candle flame sheet, a light-emitting element, a left support, and a right support. The left support and the right support are assembled to constitute a flame sheet support. The light-emitting element is mounted in the flame sheet support. A first support beam for supporting the candle flame sheet is disposed in the left support. An upward-facing first support portion is formed at one end of the first support beam. A downward-facing limiting opening is formed at a lower portion of the candle flame sheet. A top end of the first support portion abuts against a top wall of the limiting opening.
