Optiflame® is the world’s most realistic electric flame effect, and can be found in all Dimplex fires, with the exception of the radiant bar fires. It is a unique, patented means of generating realistic simulated flames from an electric source and creates the illusion of flames emanating from the centre of an enhanced depth fuel bed to provide a realistic glow that can be enjoyed throughout the whole year.

Dimplex revolutionised the fires market when we launched the first Optiflame® effect in 1988 and since then we have consistantly refined and improved it to the level of perfection that you see today. As a result, we have won numerous awards for our fires and they have also been selected to feature on a number of mainstream TV home interest programmes and in feature pieces at home interest shows.
