Abstract
A decorative assembly for use within a floral arrangement includes a plurality of optical fibers, a plurality of light emitting diodes, a base portion, and a power source. The optical fibers each have first and second ends. The light emitting diodes are coupled to the first end of each of the optical fibers for illuminating the optical fibers. The base portion houses the lighting emitting diodes and at least a portion of the optical fibers. The power source is coupled to the light emitting diodes through an optional light driving circuit. The optical fibers are illuminated such that the light emitted at the second end of the optical fibers creates an aesthetically decorative effect within the floral arrangement.
Claims12
A decorative assembly for use within a floral arrangement, said decorative assembly comprising:
- (a) a plurality of optical fibers, each having a first end and a second end, each optical fiber having an end face at the first end;
- (b) first and second light emitting diodes each having a top;
- (c) a first tubular connector for coupling the top of the first light emitting diode to the end face at the first end of one of said optical fibers and a second tubular connector for coupling the top of the second light emitting diode to the end face at the first end of another one of said optical fibers to allow for illumination of said at least one of said optical fibers;
- (d) a base portion for housing said first and second lighting emitting diodes and at least a portion of said optical fibers;
- (e) a power source coupled to said first and second light emitting diode;
- (f) said plurality of optical fibers being illuminated such that the light emitted at the second end of said optical fibers creates an aesthetically decorative effect within the floral arrangement;
- and
- (g) a light driver circuit coupled between said power source and said first and second light emitting diodes for selectively activating the first and second light emitting diodes wherein said light driver circuit is adapted to randomly activate said first and second light emitting diodes.
