Sound-actuated advertising light display

A sound-actuated light display comprising:

• an octagonally-shaped light reflector having an octagonal base, outer side walls rising upwardly from the base and projecting outwardly away from the base at an angle of approximately 135.degree., and a pyramid-shaped portion extending away from the center of the base such that each faces of the pyramid forms an angle with the base of approximately 135.degree., the pyramid-shaped portion being approximately as tall as the side walls of the reflector, the pyramid-shaped portion being positioned such that the base line of each face of the pyramid-shaped portion is parallel to the base line of the side wall which faces that face of the pyramid-shaped portion, the base further defining four substantially cylindrical depressions symmetrically arranged around the pyramid-shaped portion;
• four lights, each positioned in one of the four substantially cylindrical depressions defined by the reflector base;
• a sound-actuated power switching circuit connected between the plurality of lights and a power source, for detecting sound in the vicinity of the display and for switching power to the plurality of lights on and off in response to the variations in the level of the detected sound;
• a fifth light connected to the power source positioned adjacent the reflector;
• a prismatically textured translucent cover positioned over the reflector and the fifth light, the surface of the cover defining a first symbol to be displayed positioned over the reflector and a second symbol to be displayed positioned over the fifth light;
• and
• a back panel for mounting the reflector, the power switching means, the fifth light, and the cover, the back panel adapted for mounting the display in a desired location.
