Candles are perfect for creating a relaxed mood at dinner parties or cozy gatherings. However a rogue candle can cause massive damage when left unwatched.

The solution is the Candle Extinguisher.

the Concept

A small inconspicuous device that watches over a single candle. Upon lighting said candle, inbuilt thermal sensors wake the device and a small LED lets the user know the candle is being watched. If after a set amount of time the user has not extinguished the candle, the device triggers a mechanical arm mounted on a servomotor to extinguish the unwatched flame.
