A candle emulation device comprising:
- a light source;
- a light source controller coupled to the light source, the light source controller to control the light source in order to produce a lighting effect that emulates lighting from a candle flame;
- and
- a fragrance-release mechanism to release a fragrance into air surrounding the candle emulation device.
A candle emulation device comprising:
- a light source including at least three lighting elements;
- and
- a light source controller adapted to control the at least three lighting elements of the light source to cause the at least three lighting elements to emulate lighting from a candle flame.
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a light source placed within the housing;
- a light source controller placed within the housing and adapted to place the light source in one of a plurality of lighting modes including a first mode where the light source is controlled to emulate a first type of lighting pattern representative of lighting effects produced by a candle flame and a second mode where the light source is controlled to emulate a second type of lighting pattern being different from the first type of lighting pattern;
- and
- a fragrance-release mechanism to release a fragrance with an environment including the candle emulation device.
