• Place the hologram in such a way that its edges are not visible at a distance from the fireplace.
• LED and halogen lamps will help you, so that you can give special lighting. Arrange them on different sides of the hologram.

Important! As a result, you get a believable, three-dimensional image, which, in turn, will agree, looks much better and more original than the simple movement on the screen.

LED backlighting performs the function of optical illusion. The fire will seem real, but the comfort will remain.

Illusion

The meaning of this method is as follows:

1. You take several glasses, set them at different distances from each other, the angles between them must be different - this is important.
2. Now you take a virtual image of the flame, put it in the fireplace.
3. Here again, LED lamps are used to give the lighting you need.

Repeat the following:

1. Place the fan on a cardboard box so that it blows air upwards.
2. Next, place the three LED lamps at the corners of the box.
3. In accordance with paragraph 2, do the same with optical filters, that is, next to the lamps.
4. Mirrors set on the sides of the box.
5. Cut the shapes in the form of triangles from the flap, paste on the box.

Important! It is desirable to set the light filters as follows: in the middle is blue, and at the edges - orange, red. This placement of filters will give an imitation of greater brightness, bumpiness.

1. The process is finished, the last steps are left. Install in a false fireplace, connect to the network, admire the languages ​​of the flame, albeit artificial.
