Abstract: A light emitting device comprises a coherent source generating coherent light, a diffusing element, and a light guide part. The diffusing element includes first and second surfaces opposite to each other, and disperses the coherent light from the coherent source to generate incoherent light. The light guide part is provided on the side of the first surface of the diffusing element; it guides the coherent light emitting from the coherent source to be incident on the first surface to form a first light path, guides a part of incoherent light emitting from the first surface to emit through the first light path, guides the remaining incoherent light to emit through a second light path, and separates the first and second light paths. The luminous flux of the incoherent light emitting through the first light path is less than that of the incoherent light emitting through the second light path.

Abstract: A flame simulation light comprises a light base and a light housing. The light base is provided with a plurality of light-emitting plates extending in the direction away from the light base. The adjacent light-emitting plates are arranged end to end and enclose a cavity with gaps. At least an inner light source is arranged in the cavity to emit light through the gaps.

In addition, this manner of simulating flame can have diverse flame effects by changing inclination, arc, height, width, or shape of the light-emitting plates. In terms of the effect of having inner and outer flames, various combinations are possible. Compared with conventional integral flame simulation light, this flame simulation light realizes diversity.
