Using state of the art patented technology, Dimplex has created an electric flame. Adjustments of this fan enable the user to control the size of flame arising from their fire. Introducing the Opti-Myst, the worlds most realistic electric fire range.

For added peace of mind, an anti-microbial substance has been added into the plastic material used in Opti-myst fires.Ī small fan blows the water mist out of the sump and over the light bulbs. The sump can even be placed in a dishwasher. However, if a build-up of limescale does occur, the plastic materials used have a highly polished finish to ensure easier cleaning and removal of limescale. If tap water is used, a build-up of limescale can seriously hinder the production of flame and smoke effect. It is recommended to use filtered water in Opti-myst fires.

These bulbs are dichroic, enabling an accurate representation of flame-like colour. They also illuminate the water mist with the orange glow of a real fire. The heat produced enables the water mist to rise up through gaps in the log fuel bed in a flame like manner. The light bulbs have two functions in an Opti-myst fire. As the mist is so fine it does not add significantly to the humidity of the room.Īfter much testing, Dimplex has fine-tuned the ultrasonic transducer to produce the most realistic flame and smoke effect possible. This is not steam since the water is at room temperature and, therefore the “flames” are safe to touch. The flame and smoke effect is created using ultrasonic waves which atomise water to create an extremely fine mist. The result is an appearance so authentic it will be mistaken for true flames and smoke.

As the mist rises up through the logs or coals, the light reflects against the water creating a convincing illusion of flames and smoke. The fully 3-dimensional effect uses established ultrasonic technology to create an ultra-fine water mist.
