Abstract

A surface mount light ( 10 ) comprises a base assembly ( 12 ) and a first diffuser ( 14 ). The base assembly ( 12 ) includes (i) a housing body ( 25 ) having a base ( 16 ) and a side ( 18 ) that is coupled to the base ( 16 ), the base ( 16 ) being mountable on a surface ( 15 ); (ii) a light assembly ( 22 ) positioned substantially within the housing body ( 25 ), the light assembly ( 22 ) including one or more LED lights ( 34 ), wherein power is selectively provided to the light assembly ( 22 ) such that at least one of the one or more LED lights ( 34 ) directs light away from the base ( 16 ); and (iii) a first attachment member ( 40 ). The first diffuser ( 14 ) includes a second attachment member ( 42 ) that selectively engages the first attachment member ( 40 ) to selectively attach the first diffuser ( 14 ) to the base assembly ( 12 ) without damaging the base assembly ( 12 ) and the first diffuser ( 14 ).

Claims (18)

1. A surface mount light that is mounted on a surface, the surface mount light comprising:

a base assembly including (i) a housing body having a base and a side that is coupled to the base, the base being adapted to be mounted on the surface; (ii) a light assembly that is positioned substantially within the housing body, the light assembly including one or more LED lights, wherein power is selectively provided to the light assembly such that at least one of the one or more LED lights directs light away from the base; and (iii) a first attachment member; and

a first diffuser that can be selectively attached to and detached from the base assembly without damaging the base assembly and the first diffuser, the first diffuser including a second attachment member that selectively engages the first attachment member so that the first diffuser is selectively attachable to the base assembly.

2. The surface mount light of claim 1 wherein the housing body is substantially disk shaped.

3. The surface mount light of claim 2 wherein the housing body has a diameter of less than approximately five inches.

4. The surface mount light of claim 1 wherein the first diffuser is a decorative diffuser that extends away from the base assembly by at least approximately two inches.

5. A package assembly including the surface mount light of claim 1 further comprising a second diffuser that is selectively attachable to and detachable from the base assembly.

6. The surface mount light of claim 1 wherein the first attachment member includes a groove that extends around a perimeter of the housing body, and wherein the second attachment member includes one or more protrusions that can be selectively positioned within the groove.

7. The surface mount light of claim 1 further comprising a sound source positioned substantially within the housing body.

8. The surface mount light of claim 1 further comprising a switch that selectively activates the light assembly.

9. The surface mount light of claim 8 further comprising a sound source positioned substantially within the housing body, and wherein the switch selectively activates the sound source.

10. The surface mount light of claim 1 further comprising a power source assembly including one or more batteries that selectively provide power to the light assembly such that at least one of the one or more LED lights directs light away from the base.

11. A package assembly including the surface mount light of claim 1 , and a second diffuser that is alternatively selectively attachable to and detachable from the base assembly without damaging the base assembly and the second diffuser.

12. A surface mount light that is mounted on a surface, the surface mount light comprising:

a base assembly including (i) a housing body having a base and a side that is coupled to the base, the base being adapted to be mounted on the surface; (ii) a light assembly that is positioned substantially within the housing body, the light assembly including one or more LED lights; (iii) a power source assembly that provides power to the light assembly such that at least one of the one or more LED lights directs light away from the base; and (iv) a first attachment member;

a sound source that is positioned substantially within the housing body, the power source assembly providing power to the sound source to selectively activate the sound source;

a first diffuser that is selectively attachable to and detachable from the base assembly without damaging the base assembly and the first diffuser, the first diffuser including a second attachment member that selectively engages the first attachment member so that the first diffuser is selectively attachable to the base assembly; and

a second diffuser that is selectively attachable to and detachable from the base assembly without damaging the base assembly and the second diffuser.
