Abstract

Apparatus for producing a non-repeat or random flame effect comprising a light source (2) from which emitted light beams can be viewed in use through a diffuser screen (5), wherein a first flame template (3) and a second randomly moveable flame template (4) are disposed between the light source and the diffuser screen. The first flame template is stationary having transparent and opaque sections wherein the sections show a drawing or photograph of a flame. The second flame template has flexible elongate members (13) which flutter in an air current. A flame effect fire is also described wherein the flame simulating apparatus is associated with a first light source and the fuel bed (9) is associated with an independently operated second light source (8).
