Free App to blow out candles
If you’ve ever wished you could set the mood with a candle but without the fire risk and resource waste, this virtual candle is for you. Millions of downloads make this the most photo-realistic candle app for your iPhone or iPad.
This unique device from LuDela looks like a real candle until you get close to the flame. The device uses an electrical circuit to light the wick, and then it channels heat from four nodes around the flame to extinguish it. The device also has various sensors to detect changes in light, temperature and motion, so it can shut itself off if the flame moves too much or is knocked over.
The device’s design is not only creative but seems to have been thought through from the inside out, too. The wick and the flame are connected to a wire that passes through a spring-loaded cradle, which makes it easy to place or remove the candle for burning. The cradle also holds the wick at the correct height, so it’s never too high or too low to reach.
The entire device is designed to be incredibly durable, with an internal mechanism that protects the wire and the flame from water or other contaminants. The wire is surrounded by silicone, so it won’t break even if the candle falls over, and the wick and cradle are both made of flame-resistant materials. LuDela also includes a battery that will power the device for up to 10 hours, so you can burn the candle without having to worry about it running out of electricity or overheating.
