    Abstract: A lighting system includes a housing, a candle, a discrete light emission point (DLEP), a power source, and a controller. The housing has a cavity, a support surface, and an area that is translucent, transparent, and/or open. The candle is atop the support surface. The DLEP is positioned in the cavity for emitting light through the area. The controller is in communication with the DLEP and the power source to actuate the DLEP. Another lighting system includes a housing, a candle, a plurality of discrete DLEPs, and a power source. The housing has a cavity, a support surface, and an area that is translucent, transparent, and/or open. The candle is atop the support surface. The DLEPs are positioned in the cavity for emitting light through the area. At least one of the DLEPs extends from a lower face of a substrate when the lighting system in in an operating configuration.

    Abstract: A lighting device includes a housing having a cavity and a translucent area, a plurality of discrete light emission points (DLEPs) positioned in the cavity for emitting light through the translucent area, a power source, and a controller causing the DLEPs to simulate a burning wax candle. The housing is configured to imitate a wax candle. The controller actuates a first of the DLEPs according to sequential first intensity values, and actuates a second of the DLEPs according to sequential second intensity values. The sequential first intensity values are determined by sequentially combining first change values to an initial first intensity value, and the sequential second intensity values are determined by sequentially combining second change values to an initial second intensity value. Sequential increases/decreases in the first intensity values simulate increases/decreases in optimal flame chemistry, and sequential increases/decreases in absolute value of the first change values simulates increases/decreases in turbulence.
