Abstract: A flame simulating assembly including a simulated fireplace having a flame image subassembly for providing images of flames and one or more light sources configured to provide light having an intensity. The flame simulating assembly also includes a controller for controlling the simulated fireplace, and an ambient light sensor positioned outside the simulated fireplace for sensing ambient light intensity. The controller is configured to increase or decrease the intensity of the light provided by the light source upon receipt of signals from the ambient light sensor.

Abstract: A method of forming a simulated combustible fuel element including covering at least a part of a surface of a master with a material selected to produce a mold, and then removing the master from the mold. A predetermined amount of a liquefied body material that is less than a volume of the mold is introduced into the mold. A body including the body material is produced with one or more cavities therein and an exterior surface simulating at least the part of the surface of the master. The body material is allowed to solidify, at least to the extent that the body material is self-supporting, and the mold and the body are separated. One or more fuel light sources are positioned to direct light therefrom in the cavity. At least a portion of the exterior surface is coated so that the portion simulates a combustible fuel element.
