Hologram display item

A front-lit hologram display item comprising:

• a hologram having a front surface and a rear surface, said hologram displaying a holographic image when said front surface is illuminated;
• a light source assembly structurally coupled to, and fixed relative to, said hologram at a location in front of said front surface to impinge light energy onto said front surface of said hologram;
• a housing;
• and
• light source assembly mounting means for receiving said light source assembly and for fixing said light source assembly relative to said housing, thereby fixedly positioning said light source assembly at a prescribed location in said housing and in front of said front surface of said hologram;
• and wherein
• said housing comprises:
• a second light source assembly fixed on said housing spaced from said first-mentioned light source assembly and in a position to impinge light energy onto the front surface of said hologram;
• and
• an electrical switch for powering one of said light source assemblies to provide a single point light source.
