a first electronic assembly configured so as to be movable within the chamber, said first electronic assembly comprising a first battery which powers a first one or more light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) and a first electronics; and a light effect material with a plurality of dispersive elements configured about the chamber so that light emitted from the first one or more LEDs is dispersed by the plurality of dispersive elements so as to create a light material viewing effect; wherein the chamber is configured with a transparent space created between the light effect material and the first one or more LEDs; wherein the light material viewing effect is created for a viewer viewing light emitted from a given LED through a first viewing path that begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, then goes through the light effect material, then goes to the viewer; wherein a non-light material viewing effect is created for the viewer viewing light emitted from the given LED through a second viewing path in which the light effect material has been removed and the second viewing path begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, then goes to the viewer; wherein the viewer perceives the light material viewing effect to extend over a wider area than the non-light material viewing effect when the first viewing path and the second viewing path have an identical preselected distance; and wherein the light material viewing effect is varied as the first electronic assembly moves within the chamber so as to create a sparkling viewing effect in which the light material viewing effect attributable to the given LED is seen to move about the light effect material as the first electronic assembly moves within the chamber when said given LED is emitting light. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The article of claim 1 wherein the chamber is further comprised of a movable flap secured by a closure mechanism and the movable flap is configured to allow the first electronic assembly to be moved into and out of the chamber. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The article of claim 2 wherein the first electronic assembly is configured with an on/off switch. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The article of claim 1 further comprising a second electronic assembly configured so as to be movable within the chamber with the first electronic assembly, said second electronic assembly comprising a second battery which powers a second one or more light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) and a second electronics. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The article of claim 1 further comprising a second electronic assembly configured so as to be movable within the chamber with the first electronic assembly, said second electronic assembly comprising a second one or more light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) powered by the first battery, wherein the first and second electronic assemblies are configured to emit light in opposite directions. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The article of claim 1 further comprising a metalized layer covering at least a portion of the light effect material configured in the first viewing path between the light effect material and the viewer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The article of claim 1 further comprising a fluid held within the chamber. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The article of claim 1 further comprising activation means for causing said first one or more LEDs to begin emitting light within the chamber. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The article of claim 8 wherein said activation means is activated when said first electronic assembly is moved. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The article of claim 9 wherein said activation means is comprised of a motion detector operatively connected to said first electronics. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The article of claim 8 wherein said activation means is activated by a wireless communication device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The article of claim 11 wherein the activation means is configured to allow a portable communication device to control emission of light from said first one or more LEDs. ### Claim 13 An article of manufacture, comprising: a body with a chamber; a plurality of electronic assemblies configured so as to be movable within the chamber, each of said plurality of electronic assemblies comprising a battery which powers one or more light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) and electronics; and a light effect material with a plurality of dispersive elements configured about the chamber so that light emitted from the one or more LEDs of each of the plurality of electronic assemblies is dispersed by the plurality of dispersive elements so as to create a light material viewing effect; wherein the chamber is configured with a transparent space created between the light effect material and the first one or more LEDs; wherein the light material viewing effect is created for a viewer viewing light emitted from a given LED through a first viewing path that begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, then goes through the light effect material, then goes to the viewer; wherein a non-light material viewing effect is created for the viewer viewing light emitted from the given LED through a second viewing path in which the light effect material has been removed and the second viewing path begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, then goes to the viewer; wherein the viewer perceives the light material viewing effect to extend over a wider area than the non-light material viewing effect when the first viewing path and the second viewing path have an identical preselected distance; and wherein the light material viewing effect is varied as each of the plurality of electronic assemblies moves within the chamber so as to create a sparkling viewing effect in which the light material viewing effect attributable to the given LED is seen to move about the light effect material as the plurality of electronic assemblies move within the chamber when said given LED is emitting light. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The article of claim 13 further comprising a metalized layer covering at least a portion of the light effect material configured in the first viewing path between the light effect material and the viewer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The article of claim 13 further comprising activation means for causing the one or more LEDs of each of the plurality of electronic assemblies to begin emitting light within the chamber. ### Claim 16 An article of manufacture, comprising: a body configured with a chamber; at least one light emitting diode (LED) connected by a plurality of wires to electronics so as to be movable within the chamber; and a light effect material with a plurality of dispersive elements configured so that light emitted from the at least one LED is dispersed by the plurality of dispersive elements so as to create a light material viewing effect; wherein the chamber is configured with a transparent space created between the light effect material and the at least one LED; wherein the light material viewing effect is created for a viewer viewing light emitted from a given LED through a first viewing path that begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, then goes through the light effect material, then goes to the viewer; wherein a non-light material viewing effect is created for the viewer viewing light emitted from the given LED through a second viewing path in which the light effect material has been removed and the second viewing path begins with the given LED, then goes through the transparent space, then goes to the viewer; wherein the viewer perceives the light material viewing effect to extend over a wider area than the non-light material viewing effect when the first viewing path and the second viewing path have an identical preselected distance; and wherein the light material viewing effect is varied as the at least one LED moves within the chamber so as to create a sparkling viewing effect in which the light material viewing effect attributable to the given LED is seen to move about the light effect material as the at least one LED moves within the chamber when said given LED is emitting light. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The article of claim 16 wherein the at least one LED is comprised of a plurality of LEDs electrically connected together through the plurality of wires.
