Inflatable decorative coverings for lighting devices

Abstract

An inflatable decorative covering for decorating a lighting device is removably attachable to the lighting device. The covering generally includes a decorative exterior portion and an inflatable interior portion disposed substantially within the exterior portion. The interior portion defines a passage configured for receiving at least a portion of the lighting device therein. The interior portion also has a first deflated configuration in which the interior portion may be positioned to cover the lighting device with at least a portion of the lighting device within the passage, and a second inflated configuration whereby when the interior portion is inflated, the exterior portion may be illuminated by light emitted from a light source of the lighting device thereby highlighting an object that the exterior portion is configured to resemble. In some embodiments, the exterior portion may be integrally formed with the interior portion.
