  • Patent number: 10488004
    Abstract: An imitation candle is provided that simulates an open flame by providing a flickering light effect reflected on a flame element. The flickering light effect may be produced using a light transmitting device, such as a fiber optic cable, that allows light to travel from a light source located near the base of the candle to the top of the candle to reflect off the flame element. The imitation candle may further include an additional light source located in the base of the candle to illuminate the body of the candle. Such additional light source may be one or more light sources of different color, which may allow the body of the candle to change color. Optionally, the color changing body may be implemented in combination with a light source located at the top of the candle that produces a flickering effect.
