The effect of a wood or similar fire in a fireplace is simulated by the combination of an incandescent light bulb situated to illuminate discrete and separate areas of a rotatable blade or paddle assembly. The blade or paddle assembly is rotated and located behind the incandescent light source and both are enclosed within a shell having the shape, configuration and appearance of a bed of coals, a log fire or the like. The incandescent source or sources are mounted behind opaque portions of the shell and the blade or paddle assembly is rotated and is so constructed as to effect reflection of the incandescent source in such fashion that the reflected light on the interior of the shell moves upwardly and gives the appearance of flickering, thereby to simulate flames. |
