Abstract

A flame light, is an electric light that simulates the effect of fire. It consists of a casing 1, which surrounds a fan 3, the fan blows a piece of material 2. Then spotlights 4 are positioned to shine on the material, and give the effect of a flame.

Description

1 2353352 Flame light This invention relates to an electric lum.
Electric lighting has so far been unable to simulate the egect of real fire to any degree of reality.
According to the present invention an electric light can be adapted and used to reproduce the eflect of a flame of fire.
According to the present invention, once power to the himinaire is switched on, the spotlights and fan start operatmg. The air blown from the fan causes the material to swerve in several directions. As the material is moving, it is simultaneously, being lit by the nearby spotlights. The simultaneous actions, of the fan blowing the material, and the light shinning on the material, will simulate a flame of fire. Creating the effect of fire from an electric source...
The luminaire consists of the following parts:
a) The Luminaire casing 1, this holds all the parts together and it could be made in any shape or size and made from any material, such as metal, glass, or plastic etc.
b) A piece of cloth, paper or other material of Ilwdble quality 2, is secured inside the casing, with the remainder of the material positioned to overflow the casing.
c) A fan and its associated mechanism 3, or any other device capable of air movement is also positioned inside the casing.
d) 7he positionuig and functioning of the fan, spotlights and associated apparatus would be apparent to anyone in the trade. Anyone in the trade would also understand the circuitry necessary for the light to function, such as: the junction box 5, the low voltage onner 6, and the We and neutral wires, represented by broken lines 7.
e) Once the luminaire is switched on, so that the fan functions and blows the material, spotlights 4,are then positioned on the nearby walls andlor ceiling. The spotlights are then directed to shine light, or a combination of coloured fights, onto the materiel. The simultaneous actions of the moving material, being lit by the spotlights, gives the illusion of real fire coming from the luminaire.

Claims (4)

1. The spot lights may be any type of light source, e.g. incandescent discharge or fiber optic. The spotlights maybe located inside the casing of the luminaire, or they may be ancillary items, capable of being fixed outside the casing, to shine onto the material.
2. The colour of the light emitted from the spotlights, may be the fire colours, or any other colour light, whether or not representing fire.
3. Fan includes any device capable of air movement, including air jets.
4. The luminaire may be of any shape and size, it may be a wall or ceiling light, or it may be a freestanding table light
