Abstract: A fan-based candle snuffer for blowing out an open flame. This candle snuffer is comprised of: a transmitter equipped with an input device, which generates a signal when the input device is activated by a user; a receiver that toggles power to an output port upon receiving the signal from the transmitter; and a fan connected to the receiver output port, whereby the fan can be remotely turned on or off by a user, thereby enabling the user to remotely blow out the open flame. The device may also be equipped with a countdown timer connected to the power port to control the fan.
