Abstract
La présente invention vise à simuler la combustion de flammes, de bûches en combustion et de tison dans un foyer ou un dispositif équivalent. Une ou plusieurs sources lumineuses, par exemple des DEL, servent à transmettre de la lumière vers et à travers un groupe de bûches artificielles et un lit de tisons. Un contrôleur à microprocesseur sert à faire varier une ou plusieurs intensités lumineuses et couleurs des DEL afin de simuler l'effet d'incandescence à variation naturelle du lit de tison et du groupe de bûches.
