Abstract
Apparatus and systems for a candle warming lamp that reduces an amount of electrical power required to cause a candle to emit a scent based on using reflected light are described herein. A base may be configured to receive at least one candle. A power source may be electrically coupled to a light source. A lamp shade may include a first portion at least partially enclosing the light source. The lamp shade may further include a second portion having an interior surface made of a reflective material. The second portion may reflect light emitted by the light source. The second portion may cause, based on reflecting the light, at least one candle to emit a scent.
Claims20
A candle warming lamp comprising:
- a base having a candle location configured to receive at least one candle;
- a light source;
- a power source electrically coupled to the light source;
- and
- a lamp shade positioned around the light source, wherein the lamp shade comprises:
- a first portion at least partially enclosing the light source, the first portion having an interior facing surface;
- and
- a second portion having an interior facing surface, the second portion located below the first portion and having an angle of inclination equal to an angle of inclination of the first portion, wherein the interior of the second portion has a reflective property higher than that of the interior of the first portion to reflect light emitted by the light source, and wherein light omitted from the light source is directed by the interior of the second portion towards the candle location to aid in emitting a scent from the at least one candle.
A system for warming a candle, the system comprising:
- a light source;
- a shade positioned around the light source, wherein the shade comprises:
- a first portion at least partially enclosing the light source;
- and
- a second portion having an interior facing surface, the interior facing surface of the second portion having a reflective property that meets or exceeds a threshold amount of reflectivity to direct the light emitted by the light source towards the center of a base having a candle location configured to receive at least one candle, wherein the threshold amount of reflectivity is at least ninety percent;
- a support apparatus coupled to the light source and to the shade, the support apparatus configured to maintain the shade a threshold distance above the base;
- and
- a control mechanism configured to modify an intensity of light emitted by the light source.
A candle warming lamp comprising:
- a base having a candle location configured to receive at least one candle;
- and
- a lamp shade positioned above a light source and having a truncated conical body, wherein the truncated conical body comprises:
- an upper portion at least partially enclosing the light source, the upper portion having an interior facing surface;
- and
- a lower portion having an interior facing surface, the lower portion located below the upper portion, wherein the interior of the lower portion has a reflective property higher than that of the interior of the upper portion to reflect light emitted by the light source, and wherein light omitted from the light source is directed by the interior of the lower portion towards the candle location to aid in emitting a scent from the at least one candle.
