Abstract

Apparatus and method for creating a natural flame effect using an RGB LED light source and lenses. The output of individually controlled LEDs operated by a simulated-flame-motion algorithm to simulate flame motion is enhanced with the use of multilayer lenticular lens filters to refract the light waves emitted by the LEDs in a manner to create a natural-acting 3D flame effect.
