Abstract (en)
A votive lamp, or torch, is made in such a way as to work perpetually. The lamp comprises a supporting and containing box-like member (2), having a hole at the top, fastened to a light receiving-converting member (3), adapted to receive the light and to convert it into electricity, that includes a photovoltaic cell (3a) connected to an electric circuit (5), housed inside the box-like member (2) and in turn connected, on one side, to an electricity accumulator element (4) and, on the other side, to a series of light emmitting elements (6a,b,c,d). The box-like member (2) is closed at the top by a glass cover (7) having shape of a burning flame. The accumulator element (4) stores the electricity that is produced by the light receiving-converting member (3) and that is not used by the circuit (5) to generate a series of modulated electric pulses delivered to the light emmitting elements. In this way the device works continuously with a blazing flame suggestive effect. <IMAGE>
