A desired design is created by use of clear and opaque sections and then illuminated by a light material viewing effect in an article of manufacture.

A pop-up having a glass bow are produced by shining a point light source on a reflective and refractive surface. The pop-up with a glass bow might be incorporated into a card or a book.

An illuminating pendant that includes a housing unit, one or more layers of translucent material connected to the housing unit, and control circuitry secured to the housing unit and electrically connected to one or more LEDs and to a power source. The control circuitry includes a receiver and a proximity detection device and detects a first signal location proximate to a first proximity beacon and illuminates one or more LEDs in a pattern associated with the first signal location. In one embodiment the illuminating pendant is affixed to a wearable band. In another embodiment, the illuminating pendant is magnetically secured to a user's clothing.

An LED decorative lamp includes a support frame, a light source, and a bendable reflection assembly. The support frame is a hollow annular structure. The light source is used to emit light and is arranged in the support frame. The bendable reflection assembly is used to reflect light from the light source and is arranged on the support frame and connected to the light source.

The present invention offers a new and innovative manner to integrate a flexible, programmable light source into a wearable item, particularly a garment, in a variety of different positions and placements. The flexible programmable light source assembly is designed to be attached to the garment in such a way that irrespective of whether the light source is ON or OFF, the appearance of the programmable light source assembly integrates harmoniously with the garment design. Further, when the programmable light source strip is removed, the empty area left behind is again fully integrated into the overall appearance of the wearable item.

Luminaires, rechargeable illuminating personal ornaments and charging bases are disclosed. An example luminaire comprises a charging base and a rechargeable illuminating personal ornament. The charging base comprises a power cable connectable to an external power source and a power connector. The rechargeable illuminating personal ornament is connected to the charging base and has a shell, a light source attached to the shell, a rechargeable power source, located in the shell and connected to the light source, a corresponding power connector, defining an opening in the shell and coupled to the rechargeable power source. The power connector of the charging base is coupled to the corresponding power connector of the rechargeable illuminating personal ornament.

The present disclosure provides a safety light. The safety light includes a top housing; a printed circuit board assembly coupled to the top housing, the printed circuit board assembly having a top surface and a bottom surface; a plurality of light elements coupled to the bottom surface of the printed circuit board assembly, the printed circuit board assembly programmed to energize the plurality of light elements following depression of a first control button; a lens coupled to the bottom surface of the printed circuit board assembly and the plurality of light elements, the lens having a first angled reflective surface and a plurality of side surfaces; and a bottom housing coupled to the lens.

A breakage resistant light bulb headband having increased flexibility includes a single piece injection-molded main body with integral bulb holding structures, a clip-on battery case, and wiring that connects light sources and a power source in the battery case by extending along an outside surface of the headband so as to eliminate the need for an internal passage, and a relatively thick multiple piece construction.

An illuminated handbag that includes a body with a base portion, a front panel, a back panel, and a side panel; a flexible LED panel; an annular frame base affixed to the front panel and having an interior opening; an annular frame disposed over and around the perimeter of the LED panel and coupled to the frame base to form a channel; a transparency bearing a decorative image captured in the channel between the LED panel and the frame; a microprocessor for controlling the LED panel; a power supply coupled to the microprocessor; and an on-off and dimming switch connected to the microprocessor and the LED panel. The LED panel provides backlight illumination through the transparency. The microprocessor enables automatic adjustment to the light output responsive to the lux of ambient light multiplied by a default factor and/or user-defined multipliers.
