Optimyst uses water vapor and LEDs to create 3-D flame and smoke effects that are among the most realistic available for electric fireplaces. Flame intensity and appearance are adjustable.

The removable refill tank provides approximately 8–10 hours of continuous operation depending on settings and ambient conditions.

Standard 120 V household power. Unit draws approximately 9.6 A (1,500 W). Use a dedicated circuit per local code if required.
