1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a light, and more particularly to a light, the inner or outer surface of the light post of which is carved with character or patterns, and the projection of the patterns created by a color light source projecting light through the light-transmitting light post can create desired atmosphere.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Modern people are fastidious about the quality of life, many of them are good at decorating their own living spaces by making use of various kinds of lights. In addition to illumination, the more import is to create atmosphere.
Lights normally include table light, ceiling light, floor light and etc. To add the light variation and create the atmosphere, most of the lights are covered with a light shade which can be changed in many respects, such as color, shape and pattern. On top of that, some of the lights also provide options in configuration, for example, the light post can be folded into desired shapes.
In addition to supporting the light and providing basic changes in shape, how to further provide the light post with new ideas is the direction that the field is working toward.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an atmosphere light which is capable of creating desired atmosphere by projecting colorful light rays through a light-transmitting light post.
To achieve the above object, an atmosphere light provided by the present invention comprises: a first light source, a second light source, a light post, and a light holder. The light post is mounted on the light holder, and the second light source is disposed at an appropriate position on the light post to project light outward. The light post is at least partially or fully made of light-transmitting material, and a surface of which is carved with characters or patterns. The first light source is disposed on the surface of the light holder and projects colorful light outward through the light-transmitting material.
The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
The light post 20 is at least partially or fully made of light-transmitting material, the surface of which is carved with (or by any means) characters or patterns as shown in the drawing, such as stellated, circular, triangular patterns 21. The first light source 40 is disposed on the surface of the light holder 30 to project light toward the above light-transmitting light post 20 and is capable of providing 16 million color combinations of light under the control of a control circuit 50 inside the light holder 30.
The patterns 21 on the surface of the light post 20 are composed of a plurality of concave or convex circular dots (or can be stripped or irregularly shaped units) or can be formed by carving a plurality of continuous or intermittent lines. The light projecting direction of the first light source 40 is upward, and the first light source 40 includes plural light units which are disposed in a central concave portion of the light holder 30 in a spaced-apart relation, such arrangement ensures that the light from the first light source 40 can be projected toward the above light-transmitting light post 20, and further, it can prevent the wires of the first light source 40 from being exposed out of the light post 20, which otherwise will affect the projection effect of the first light source 40 and the spoil the appearance of the light post 20.
With the first light source 40, the projection of the characteristic or patterns 21 can produce different visual effects, as shown in
In the present invention, the light 1 can be floor light, standing light, table light, bedside light, wall light, ceiling light or the likes. The first light source 40 is optimally of LED type, or can be the LEDs capable of independently producing three primary color light rays, the red, green and blue, and the first light source 40 is controlled by the control circuit 50 which serves to adjust the color and light intensity proportion of the LEDs, so as to create colorful projection of the patterns according to user•s requirements.
In addition, as shown in
To sum up, in addition to the supporting function, the light post of the present invention can be also used to create desired atmosphere through the projection of its carved patterns by the first colorful light source.
While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it is clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
