1. An electric candle, comprising:
- a housing;
a light source;
a color element positioned over at least part of the light source for creating a color effect in the electric candle when the light source transmits light through the color element; and
a flame-shaped head, the light source and the color element disposed within the flame-shaped head, and the light source configured to transmit light through the color element and the flame-shaped head to thereby provide a flame effect to the illumination device having the color effect.

Abstract
An illumination device (e.g., an electric candle, etc.) generally includes a housing, a light source, and color element. The color element is positioned over at least part of the light source for creating a color effect in the electric candle when the light source transmits light through the color element. The illumination device may also include a pendulum supporting the light source, and a support member configured to support pivotal movement of the pendulum and light source relative to the housing.

13. An electric candle, comprising:
-
a housing; a light source; a pendulum supporting the light source, the pendulum pivotally coupled to the housing and configured to move the light source relative to the housing; a driving device configured to produce pivotal movement of the pendulum to thereby move the light source relative to the housing; a printed circuit board coupled to the pendulum and configured to move with the pendulum, the printed circuit board electrically coupled to the light source and/or the driving device for controlling operation of the light source and/or the driving device; a printed circuit board assembly for providing power to the electric candle and for controlling operation of the electric candle through the printed circuit board; and at least two wires electrically connecting the printed circuit board to the printed circuit board assembly, each of the at least two wires including a diameter of about 0.5 millimeters or less to avoid impact to the pivotal movement of the pendulum. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
