Abstract
The performance of chemical glow lights is enhanced by the provision of a battery-powered light-emitting diode (LED). The LED can be provided inside a pouch containing chemicals which, when mixed together, produce a glowing light. Multiple pouches can be provided in strip form as well as in individual form with varying shapes and sizes. Surfaces coated with light-activated photochemicals can be illuminated with one or more LEDs thereby causing such surfaces to produce a chemical glow for extended periods of time.
Claims20
A lighting assembly, comprising:
- a first light comprising a chemical composition which produces a glow;
- and
- a second light comprising a battery-powered LED arranged to produce project light onto said chemical composition.
A light assembly, comprising:
- a light transmitting pouch;
- a first light source comprising a first chemical provided in said pouch, a second chemical provided in said pouch and separated from said first chemical, and wherein manual mixing of said first and second chemicals produces a glowing light through said pouch;
- a light transmitting cover provided in said pouch;
- and
- a second light source provided in said light transmitting cover and comprising a support platform supporting a battery, a switch, a second light and control circuitry controlling said second light wherein said light transmitting pouch seals said first and second light source from ambient conditions.
A method of increasing the amount of light emitted from a chemically produced glow light actuated by mixing a first chemical with a second chemical and wherein said method comprises:
- providing a battery-powered light adjacent said glow light and directing light from said battery powered light through said first and second chemicals.
