[0028] With reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, in a preferred embodiment, an amount of the multiple frame bodies 11 is two. Upper ends of the two frame bodies 11 are connected to each other, and lower ends of the two frame bodies 11 are expandable and foldable relative to each other. A connecting element 12 is mounted between middle segments of the two frame bodies 11. The connecting element 12 may be a rigid or flexible element. The connecting element 12 limits a range of an expanded angle of the two frame bodies 11. Thus, the lighting frame 10 is foldable and expandable. The lighting frame 10 forms an A-shape seen from a side view when expanded.

[0029] Besides, in a preferred embodiment, one or multiple fixing hooks may be mounted between bottom ends of the two frame bodies 11. The fixing hook(s) can fix the shape of the lighting frame 10 after the lighting frame 10 is expanded.

[0030] Furthermore, with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 to 8, the lighting frame 10 may comprise one or multiple decorating frames 13 depending on demand. By mounting the decorating frame(s) 13 on the frame body 11, the lighting frame 10 is able to make diverse styling changes.

[0031] The two frame bodies 11 of the lighting frame 10 may be spaced apart from each other. The connecting element 12 is mounted between the two frame bodies 11. The lighting frame 10 forms an H-shape seen from a side view. The lighting frame 10 may be a foldable or non-foldable structure. In a preferred embodiment, when the lighting frame 10 is a foldable structure, the one or multiple fixing hooks may be mounted between bottom ends of the two frame bodies 11. The fixing hook is able to maintain the shape of the expanded lighting frame 10 firmly. Moreover, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11, multiple connecting elements 12 are mounted between the two frame bodies 11, and the two frame bodies 11 are spaced apart from each other. The multiple connecting elements 12 are able to maintain the shape of the lighting frame 10 firmly.

[0032] In addition to the above-mentioned preferred embodiment, the lighting frame 10 may form a single-layer three-dimensional frame with the multiple frame bodies 11. Alternatively, the lighting frame 10 may be a three-dimensional frame with the multiple frame bodies 11 connected to form an inner layer and an outer layer, and the inner layer is disposed inside the outer layer. With reference to FIGS. 12 to 15, the preferred embodiment is a three-dimensional square structure with the inner layer and the outer layer. Both of the inner layer and the outer layer of the preferred embodiment are squares composed by the multiple frame bodies 11 connected by the multiple connecting elements 12.

[0033] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, 9, 12 to 13, the multiple multicolored films 20 are mounted in the lighting frame 10 separately. Each of the multiple multicolored films 20 is mounted on a respective one of the multiple frame bodies 11 of the lighting frame 10. In the preferred embodiment, a contour of the multicolored film 20 substantially matches a contour of the frame body 11. Furthermore, an edge of the multicolored film 20 is fixed on the frame body 11 by multiple fixing elements 14 or by pasting. The multicolored film 20 can be a film without a hole, or a film having one or multiple hollow holes. The multiple fixing elements 14 can be elements such as cable ties, iron threads, cotton threads, or any other wires. With reference to FIGS. 1 to 2, when the lighting frame 10 has the decorating frame 13, the multicolored film 20 may be mounted on the decorating frame 13.

[0034] The multicolored film 20 is a composite laminated film comprising at least two light-transmitting layers having different refractive indexes. The multicolored film 20 generates multi-color changes by the principle of refraction and with the multiple layers having different refractive indexes. Furthermore, by changing view angles or changing materials of the light-transmitting layer, the multicolored film 20 generates variations of light and colors. In the preferred embodiment, a material of the multicolored film 20 can be selected from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) layer, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) layer, TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) layer, or any combination thereof.

[0035] With reference to FIG. 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 or 16, the at least one light strip 30 is mounted on the lighting frame 10. The at least one light strip 30 is configured to be lighted up to project light to the multiple multicolored films 20. The at least one light strip 30 is configured to be lighted up by connecting to a power supply directly. Alternatively, the at least one light strip 30 is configured to be lighted up by connecting to the power supply through a controller. In the preferred embodiment, the light strip 30 is an LED (light-emitting diode) light strip 30 with low power consumption. The LED light strip 30 comprises a wire set 31 and multiple LEDs 32. The multiple LEDs 32 are electrically connected to the wire set 31 and are spaced apart from each other. The LED 32 may be a single-color LED element or a RGB LED (Red, Green and Blue LED) element, which can emit lights of various colors. Depending on demand, an amount of the at least one light strip 30 may be one or multiple. In the preferred embodiment, an amount of the at least one light strip 30 is multiple. Each one of the multiple frame bodies 11 of the lighting frame 10 is installed with a respective one of the multiple light strips 30, said light strip 30 and one of the multiple multicolored films 20 are fixed on said the frame body 11 by multiple fixing elements 14. With reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 to 8, when the lighting frame 10 comprises the decorating frame 13, the light strip 30 can be mounted on the decorating frame 13.

[0036] When in use, the multicolored reflective lighting can be set on the ground, on a table or on any other object that can bear the weight of the multicolored reflective lighting. The multicolored reflective lighting may be an interior or outdoor decoration as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a present box as shown in FIG. 12, etc. The multicolored reflective lighting also can be a personal wearable accessory as shown in FIG. 9. Connected to a power supply directly or through a controller, the light strip 30 is configured to be lighted up to project light to the multicolored film 20 in the lighting frame 10. Due to the light-permeability, light-reflectivity and multi-color changing capability of the multiple multicolored films mounted in the multiple frame bodies of the lighting frame, and due to the spatial configuration that the multiple frame bodies have spaces in between, the multicolored reflective lighting can generate various multicolored lighting effects when the light strip 30 projects light to the multiple multicolored films 20. Furthermore, the present invention generates multiple three-dimensional multicolored lighting effects by mutually intersecting light-reflective effects generated by part of light projected through one to another of the multiple multicolored films 20. By the particular light-reflective effects, the multiple colors generated by the present invention may change with view angles. The present invention is especially suitable for festival decorations, environmental decorations, and outdoor display.

[0037] Furthermore, the present invention is able to improve the decorative three-dimensional lighting effects of the lighting frame 10 because the light strip 30 lights up outer shapes of the frame bodies 11 on each of the multiple frame bodies 11. The light strip 30 is mounted on each of the multiple frame bodies 11 of the lighting frame 10, and fixed on the frame body 11 together with the multicolored film 20 by multiple fixing elements 14.

[0038] Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
