Device with simulated flame

A lamp optic for simulating a flame in cooperation with an electroluminescent device, comprising:

• a cover with a hollow interior;
• a base defined by a first side interfacing an interior of the cover and an opposed, second side defining a bearing surface engageable to a lens focally aligned with a radiation axis of the electroluminescent device, the cover being coupled to the base;
• and
• a gap defined between the cover and the base;
• wherein light generated by the electroluminescent device is transmitted to the base through the bearing surface thereof and dispersed through the base and the cover, the cover and the base defining a plurality of overlapping regions of diffusion surface layers that reflects and refracts the light in varying degrees depending on the specific region from which the light is output, the regions being arranged for a resultant light output to simulate varying illumination intensity areas of a natural flame.

A flame simulation apparatus, comprising:

• a stator base including a selectively activatable first electromagnet;
• a post extending from the stator base including an electroluminescent device mounted thereon with a case defining a first joint element;
• a lamp optic assembly with a bearing surface defining a second joint element rotatably engaged to the first joint element of the case, an interface of the bearing surface and the case defining a pivot point;
• a swing plate with the lamp optic assembly coaxially mounted thereto;
• and
• at least one extension from the swing plate including a magnetic element that interacts with the first electromagnet to induce movement of the swing plate about the pivot point.
