Advances in gas and simulated gas lighting

摘要

A lantern which can be a gas burner or an LED lamp comprising reflectors inside the lantern. The lantern preferably has a monitoring and control system which actively monitors and controls energy consumption. There is also preferably the ability to recover energy from the heat to recharge the internal batteries. The lantern also preferably has a light diffusing dome to equally disperse light form the LEDs and means for reproducing sound and visual patterns of a gas lantern in LED lanterns. There is also included a method of converting a gas lantern into an LED lantern using a device that can be retrofitted.
