View Patent ↗A lamp crystal has a transparent body formed with an outwardly open bore and having an outer surface having a region with a matte finish, and a light-emitting diode fixed in the bore. The outer surface is substantially smooth and polished except at the region with the matte finish. The matte-finish region extends peripherally around the body.
1. A lamp crystal comprising: a transparent body formed with an outwardly open bore and having an outer surface that has a region with a semitransparent matte finish an that is substantially smooth, transparent, and polished except at the matte-finish region; and a light-emitting diode fixed in the bore and having electrical supply wires sufficiently strong to hang the crystal from above.
2. The lamp crystal defined in claim 1 wherein the matte-finish region extends peripherally around the body.
3. The lamp crystal defined in claim 2 wherein the body is formed with a pair of edge bevels that constitute the matte-finish region.
4. The lamp crystal defined in claim 1 wherein the bore has a matte-finish internal surface.
5. The lamp crystal defined in claim 4 wherein the diode is a snug fit in the bore.
6. The lamp crystal defined in claim 4 , further comprising
a mass of transparent potting between the diode and the internal surface of the bore.
7. The lamp crystal defined in claim 1 wherein the diode carries a lens.
