Abstract
The invention relates to the field of illumination technology and provides a simulated candle tip, which comprises a light source arranged in the flame base such that a light emitted by the light source can be projected through the reflecting chamber of the flame cover, to simulate real flames. By controlling the power on/off of the electromagnetic coil and the direction of current, attracting and repelling forces can be generated between the electromagnetic coil and the magnet, to enable the flame holder to perform regular swing motion in forward, backward, left and right directions. In this way, both the light source disposed at the upper end of the flame holder and the flame cover can perform swing motion along with the flame holder, to simulate flickering effect of real burning flames. In such case, a stable swing motion can be realized, and it is easy to control.
