Abstract:
1. An illumination device comprising: a plurality of light sources which are changed in light emission individually under the control of a control circuit; a lighting stand including a torch portion having installed integrally thereto a light source support to removably support each of the light sources at a predetermined height in proximity circumferentially to one another, and a base portion supporting the torch portion in upright position; a cap-shaped light scattering member removably fitted to the light source support to scatter illumination light emitted from each light source; a transparent or semitransparent shade member shaped in the form of a cylinder having a longer axis and larger diameter than the lighting stand and installed to surround the lighting stand; and a shielding/diffusing member removably installed inside the shade member to shield the lighting stand while further diffusing the illumination light emitted from each light source so that the illumination light will go out of the outer surface of the shade member, said light source support defining separate areas for said light sources by a separator formed by bending a thin metal sheet inserted into fitting recesses formed between said light sources on an end face of said torch portion; said thin metal sheet being bent so as to be gradually narrower in width upwards from said base portion along the axial direction to form said separator; the light emission from the light sources being controlled to change the brightness of the illumination light on the outer surface of the shade member, to thereby create flaring illumination light like a candle frame.
