Apparatus producing an optical effect simulating a burning fire by directing light into smoke from smouldering incense. The incense can be burnt in a smoke chamber 141, and emerge through a simulated fuel bed 131 illuminated by light 154. The effect can be part of an electric heater (e.g. figs 30-32) or used outdoors (e.g. fig 38), and be freestanding or in a fireplace (e.g. figs 22,26B). The incense can be direct-burning, or indirect-burning, heated by a heater (figs 39-41). Supports for the incense are described (e.g. figs 6A-9), and may be mounted to an ash pan door (e.g. 134, fig 12A). The light can be powered by mains electricity, battery or a hand-wound generator (e.g. figs 20A-21), and distributed by fibre optic (figs 27-28).
