Abstract

The invention provides an improved simulated effect electric fire. An improved flame effect is created by providing a plurality of ribbons of for example silk cloth, cut to the shape of flames. The ribbons are attached to a base at their bottom ends but are otherwise free. The ribbons are in lifted, similar to flames, by a gentle air stream flowing from the base. This makes them flicker and flutter like flames. At the same time, light from LEDs is caused to fall on the ribbons, the light being of different colours corresponding to the different colours in real flames, giving a particularly realistic effect. When the air flow is switched off, the ribbons drop back by gravity into or onto the base.
