Abstract
Methods and systems are provided herein for illuminating a variety of household products and other items using color-controlled illumination systems that include lights under the control of processors.
Claims39
A method of providing illumination for a household fluid product not intended for human consumption and/or a container that contains the household fluid product, the method comprising:
- providing at least one light system, comprising at least one light source controllable by a processor for generating a variable color radiation;
- disposing the at least one light system in proximity to the container so as to illuminate the container and/or the household fluid product with the variable color radiation, when generated;
- and
- generating a selected color of the variable color radiation in response to a signal from the processor so as to cause a color change of the container and/or the household fluid product.
A method of providing illumination for a fluid, the method comprising:
- providing a light system, comprising at least one light source controllable by a processor for generating a variable color radiation;
- disposing the light system in proximity to a nozzle of a spray container containing the fluid;
- discharging a portion of the fluid though the nozzle of the spray container;
- and
- illuminating the portion of the fluid with a selected color of the variable color radiation.
A system for providing illumination for a household fluid product not intended for human consumption and/or a container that contains the household fluid product, the system comprising:
- at least one light system, comprising at least one light source controllable by a processor for generating a variable color radiation, the light system disposed proximate to the container and configured to generate a selected color of the variable color radiation in response to a signal from the processor to illuminate the container and/or the household fluid product with the selected color of the variable color radiation.
A system for providing illumination for a fluid, comprising:
- at least one light system, comprising at least one light source controllable by a processor for generating a variable color radiation, the system disposed proximate to a nozzle of a spray container, containing the fluid and configured to generate a selected color of the variable color radiation in response to a signal from the processor to illuminate a portion of the fluid discharged through the nozzle of the container with the selected color.
A method of illuminating a fluid not intended for human consumption, comprising:
- disposing the fluid in a substantially transparent or translucent container;
- providing a light system in operative connection with the container, the light system comprising a light source controllable by a processor for generating a variable color radiation;
- and
- generating a selected color by the light system in response to a signal from the processor to illuminate the fluid.
A system for illuminating a fluid not intended for human consumption, comprising:
- a substantially transparent or translucent container for storing the fluid;
- and
- a light system in operative connection with the container, the light system comprising a light source controllable by a processor for generating a variable color radiation;
- and configured to generate a selected color in response to a signal from the processor to illuminate the fluid.
