The inflatable body is transparent and has at least one light bar and a controller bag sewed on an inner surface of the inflatable body. Each one of the at least one light bar bag and the controller bag has an electric wire hole formed through the corresponding light bar bag or controller bag. The lighting unit has at least one LED light bar and a controller. The at least one LED light bar is respectively mounted inside the at least one light bar bag. The controller is mounted inside the controller bag. The air pump is mounted to an air inlet on the inflatable body. Accordingly, the at least one LED light bar can emit light through the inflatable body to provide a luminous and entertaining effect in a dusky occasion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A luminous inflatable figure comprising: an inflatable body being transparent and having: an air inlet formed through the transparent inflatable body; at least one light bar bag sewed on an inner surface of the transparent inflatable body and having an electric wire hole formed through the light bar bag; and a controller bag sewed on the inner surface of the transparent inflatable body and having an electric wire hole and a power cord hole formed through the controller bag; a lighting unit having: at least one LED light bar mounted inside the light bar bag on the inner surface of the inflatable body; a controller mounted inside the controller bag on the inner surface of the inflatable body and having a power cord formed on the controller and penetrating through the power cord hole on the controller bag; and a set of electric wires electrically connected between the at least one LED light bar and the controller, and penetrating through the electric wire holes of the light bar bag and the controller bag; and an air pump mounted to the air inlet of the inflatable body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the air inlet is formed through a bottom of the inflatable body; and the air pump is mounted to the air inlet of the inflatable body, is mounted on a seat and has: a power plug mounted on the air pump for connecting to a mains power; and an AC-to-DC transformer mounted inside the air pump. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the lighting unit has a plug mounted on the power cord; and the controller has an AC-to-DC transformer connected to the power cord of the controller. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the power cord of the lighting unit is connected to the AC-to-DC transformer of the air pump. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 3, wherein each LED light bar has multiple LED chips emitting different colored light; and the controller has a processing module having multiple control pins electronically connected to the respective LED chips emitting different colors inside the LED light bars. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 4, wherein each LED light bar has multiple LED chips emitting different colored light; and the controller has a processing module having multiple control pins electronically connected to the respective LED chips emitting different colors inside the LED light bars. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 5, wherein the controller further has a voltage regulation module connected between the processing module and the AC-to-DC transformer of the controller. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the controller further has a voltage regulation module connected between the processing module and the AC-to-DC transformer of the controller. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inflatable body further has multiple openings adapted for the head and limbs of a wearer to stick out through the respective openings, and each opening has an elastic tightening ribbon running through a hem around the opening. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the inflatable body further has multiple openings adapted for the head and limbs of a wearer to stick out through the respective openings, and each opening has an elastic tightening ribbon running through a hem around the opening. ### Claim 11 (depends on 4) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 4, wherein the inflatable body further has multiple openings adapted for the head and limbs of a wearer to stick out through the respective openings, and each opening has an elastic tightening ribbon running through a hem around the opening. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the inflatable body further has multiple openings adapted for the head and limbs of a wearer to stick out through the respective openings, and each opening has an elastic tightening ribbon running through a hem around the opening. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The luminous inflatable figure as claimed in claim 8, wherein the inflatable body further has multiple openings adapted for the head and limbs of a wearer to stick out through the respective openings, and each opening has an elastic tightening ribbon running through a hem around the opening.
