  • Flameless candle incorporating insect repellant diffuser and an ambient light sensor
    Patent number: 7481571
    Abstract: A flameless candle includes a translucent housing having a concavity in its top resembling a partially melted pillar candle. A false wick is mounted in the center of the concavity. A circuit board containing an LED, an integrated circuit chip, and an ambient light sensor is mounted inside the housing below the false wick. A battery compartment and a fragrance cartridge compartment are located in the bottom of the housing together with a slide switch. The housing also includes an electric fan or blower mounted adjacent to the fragrance cartridge compartment. The slide switch selectively completes an electrical circuit between the batteries and the circuit board, the batteries and the fan, or both. The fan is arranged such that, when activated, it blows air into the cartridge compartment.
