LED night light with liquid optics medium
View Patent ↗An LED night light includes a liquid optics medium arrangement that lets visible wavelength light beams pass through the liquid optics medium to a viewer. The liquid optics medium may include miniature floating objects made from textile, metal, plastic, porcelain, ceramic, dry flower, wood, plants, and/or potpourri in the shape of toys, stuffed animals, blow-molded units, seasonal items, dolls, etc. for a variety of gift, toy, sports, seasonal, or holiday applications. The night light may further incorporate a heater element to cause the liquid medium to flow and cause movement of the miniatures.
1. A multiple light source night light, including:
at least two light source sets installed within a housing, said housing including a plurality of openings, cut-outs, or windows through which light emitted by said two light source sets is visible to a viewer, said two light source sets emitting light according to a predetermined timing, duration, brightness, function, and performance; and
decorative means incorporated with the said housing, and which are in addition to said openings, cut-outs, or windows to make said night light have a valuable appearance and selected from the group consisting of any combination of fiber optics, a solid plastic injection with air inside, a liquid medium unit with miniature stuff inside, a liquid medium unit with reflective stuff inside, a liquid medium unit with desired stuff inside, and a stain-glass device,
wherein said two of light source sets include first and second light sets, both of which are LEDs,
the improvement wherein:
the first and second light source sets emit single color light beams to viewers while the prong means connect to a power source,
the night light is arranged to incorporate a switch means or sensor means for causing the LEDs to turn on and off, and
light beams from the first and second light source sets respectively pass directly to a viewer along different paths through different parts or areas of the night light or decorative means without passing through a same optical element, said light beams from the first and second light source sets also being respectively blocked by other different parts or areas of the night light or decorative means without first passing through the same optical element.
