Abstract
A lighting system suitable for chromatherapy includes a plurality of light fixtures mounted through walls of a tub basin to project different color light into the water in the tub. The light fixtures are operated by a central control unit and each includes a housing having a concave internal surface. An array of light emitting diodes that project different color light is mounted under a cap covering one end of the housing. A lens is threaded onto the opposite end of the housing from within the tub basin to secure the light fixture to the tub. The concave surface has the different color light projected on it, and reflects light out the light fixture in mixed fashion.
Claims10
A lighting system for a tub containing a liquid, the system comprising:
- a first light emitting diode capable of generating a first color light;
- a second light emitting diode capable of generating a second color light different from the first color light;
- a control unit controlling the operation of the light emitting diodes;
- and
- a concave surface;
- wherein the first and second light emitting diodes are positioned relative to the concave surface so as to be able to project the first and second color lights on the surface such that the surface reflects the lights in a mixed fashion.
