Abstract
A garden light 10 having a body (11) with a post (12), the lower end of which is provided with a spike (13). The upper end of the post (11) receives a lens assembly (12). Secured to the lens assembly (12) is a cap assembly (24) that has three LEDs that are activated to produce a varying color light.
Claims29
A lighting device to produce light of varying colour, said device including:
- a body including a spike;
- a lens mounted on the body and generally enclosing a chamber having an upper rim surrounding a top opening, and a bottom region;
- a cap assembly including securing means to releasably engage the rim so that cap assembly can be selectively removed from the lens;
- assembly including:
- a base
- a circuit having at least two lamps of different colours to produce a desired colour including varying colour, the lamp being mounted to direct light into said chamber, connection for at least one rechargeable battery to light and operatively associated with the a surface of the assembly so as to be exposed to light and operatively associated with the connections to charge the battery, and a switch operated to control delivery of electric power from the battery to operate said circuit, the switch being exposed to provide for access thereto a user.

A lighting device to produce light of varying colour, said device including:
- a body including a spike;
- a lens connected to the body;
- a circuit having at least two lamps of different colours to produce a desire colour including a varying colour, the lamps being mounted to direct light into said lens, connections for at least one rechargeable battery to power the circuit and a solar cell mounted on a surface of the assembly so as to be exposed to light and operatively associated with the connections to charge the battery, and a user operated switch operable to control delivery of electric power from the battery to operate said circuit, the switch being exposed to provide for access thereto by a user thereby enabling a user to manipulate the switch to control the delivery of electric power from the battery.
