A flame effect display 22' has a plurality of electrically powered light sources, such as LEDs, 26' arranged in the form of one or more flames. The light sources can be controlled to go on and off in groups in such a sequence as to reproduce the appearance of flickering flame(s). The display is located above a fuel effect display 30' to simulate flames rising from fuel. The display 30' has bulbs or LEDs 31 which are turned on/off such as to give the effect of fuel glowing more or less brightly. The displays 22', 30' may be controlled in unison. The light sources 26' may be of different colours, and may be controlled so that the size of the flame(s) appears to increase and decrease. A diffuser screen 27' is provided. In another embodiment (Fig 1, not shown), a glass sheet (19) above a fuel effect display (30) reflects an image of the flame effect. The display may be part of an electric fire. <IMAGE> |
