Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method and device for creating and applying artwork on windows and window-like substrates that fluoresces or “glows” when illuminated by LEDs. The illumination device causes markings on the window surface to glow based on an arrangement of LEDs in a housing of the device. The device further includes a control component associated with the arrangement of LEDs for turning the device on and off. An attachment component of the device is used to position the arrangement of LEDs with respect to a glass surface, such as a window, for illuminating fluorescent markings made by a user.
Claims20
A method for creating glowing artwork, wherein the method comprises:
- generating at least one marking on a glass surface, the at least one marking generated using one or more of specialty inks, crayons, and paints;
- and
- illuminating said at least one marking with light from a light source, said light from a light source comprising light generated with one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs) having a spectral output that causes fluorescence of the at least one marking.
A device for illuminating and causing markings to glow on a window surface, the device comprising:
- a housing;
- an arrangement of LEDs;
- one or more control components associated with the arrangement of LEDs;
- a power source;
- and
- at least one attachment component for securing said device to a glass surface.
A kit for creating glowing window artwork, the kit comprising:
- one or more surface marking components configured to mark on a glass surface to provide window artwork;
- and
- a device for illuminating and causing said window artwork to fluoresce, the device comprising a housing, an arrangement of LEDs, a power source, and an attachment component for securing said device to the glass surface.
