Abstract
A decorative flashing light system designed to float in ponds, pools and swimming pools that is independent of wiring harnesses and external power supplies. The system consists of a buoyant, translucent shell 16 that encloses a light array circuit assembly 20, and a battery(s) 24, which is kept in place by a waterproof reseal-able cap 28. The flash pattern of the light sources as well as the intensity, frequency, duration and duty cycles are all pre-programmed into the electronic circuitry 10. An anchoring tether 30 allows the display to be held in position rather than free-floating if desired.
Claims13
A decorative lighting system comprising:
- (a) a hollow, waterproof, buoyant, translucent shell;
- (b) an electronic circuit board populated with light sources and electronic components for controlling the light sources to turn on and off in a flash pattern, the electronic circuit board being disposed in the shell;
- and
- (c) a power source, disposed in the shell and in electrical communication with the electronic circuit board, for powering the light sources and the electronic components;
- and
- wherein at least one of the electronic components is an electronic component for sensing a level of ambient light, and wherein the electronic components are pre-programmed to determine the flash pattern in accordance with the level of ambient light.
