Abstract
A lighting assembly including a plurality of housing sections, a series of rib groups arranged circumferentially on the exterior of the housing sections, and a remote control assembly for selectively energizing tri-color diodes embedded in the ribs so that the rib groups can be selectively and independently caused to glow in various colors depending on the aspect of the electrical energy delivered to each particular rib group.
Claims21
A lighting assembly comprising:
- A. a hollow, elongated housing open at one end and adapted to be supported at its other end;
- B. means within said housing for mounting a lightbulb socket adjacent said other end generally on the central longitudinal axis of said housing and extending within said housing toward said one open end;
- C. a plurality of light element assemblies arranged on the exterior of said housing;
- and
- D. means for selectively energizing each of said light element assemblies in a manner to cause the assemblies to selectively emit a plurality of different colored lighting effects.
2 more elements
A lighting assembly comprising:
- A. an overhead track;
- B. a housing;
- C. an adapter associated with an upper portion of said housing and received in said track so as to mount said housing for selective axial positioning along said track;
- D. a light emitting assembly mounted on said housing and operative in response to receipt of electrical energy in selected disparate aspects to respectively emit disparate components of the visible light spectrum;
- E. a remote control device;
- and
- F. means operative to transmit electrical energy in disparate aspects from said remote control device to said light emitting assembly via said track and said adapter to thereby remotely and selectively cause said light emitting assembly to emit disparate aspects of the visible light spectrum.
