Abstract: The present invention provides a simulated open flame illumination device and method. In one aspect of the invention, the simulated open flame illumination device includes a light producing element and a light driver operable to vary the light output intensity of the light producing element over time. The light driver drives the light producing element to produce random output intensities for random durations to mimic the dynamic characteristics of an open flame. In another aspect of the invention, a method of simulating open flame illumination, includes illuminating a light producing element for a first random duration at a first random intensity level and illuminating the light producing element for a second random duration at a second random intensity level to mimic the dynamic characteristics of an open flame.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fragrancer for dispersing fragrance into the air. In one aspect of the invention, the fragrancer includes a base and a modular scent holder interchangeably mounted to the base. In another aspect of the invention, the base includes a light producing element. In another aspect of the invention, the fragrancer includes a power source and a powered device and a modular scent holder and base define an interlock operable to enable power to the powered device when the modular scent holder is seated on the base and operable to interrupt power to the powered device when the modular scent holder is unseated from the base. In another aspect of the invention, the fragrancer includes a decorative element such as a globe, globe insert, or trim ring interchangeably mounted to the base.
