Thanks!

It is simple enough to mount a lamp, fan & a bit of tatt, bread board style, to get the effect.

The most effective fire is using fluro [neon] starters in series with the light bubble.

Get an electrical 'J' box [Junction] big enough to accomodate the circuit gubbins & mount the incandecent globe fixtures on top, with a flying lead male connector plug attached. Which can be powered via a dimmer circuit.

The fluro starter socet can be placed in series on the active feed to the bubbles &/or on the negative as well, which gives a more random flicker, although it can give a complete power cut, for a nanno second on both the active & negative conductors at the same time, but this adds to the fire flicker effect.

Place the 'J' box in the fire grate & dress with bits of gell under the coal embers.

Of course you could make up a fan blade, that will spin from the heat created by the light globes, under neath the simulated coal embers, cut from a top of a can of beans or coffee. either fitted under the simulated coal embers or to clipped on the light globe. Which will free spin caused by the heat of the light & give a good effect.

However with the electrical device it is always a good idea to get a qualified or competant sparkie to make or check it out for you first [As a disclammer] from a safety piont of view.

But the beauty of the incandescent bubbles is you can adjust the fire effect, either the fire burning well or dieing down at any piont.

Hope this helps?
