As shown in Figures 3A , 3B , and 3C , switch 108 may include three positions and may be articulated between the various positions by pressing on switch portion 108a or 108b to articulate the switch in the directions depicted by arrows A and B.
- Figure 3A shows switch 108 in an OFF position.
- this OFF position neither switch portion 108a nor 108b is depressed, and light sources 106 are in an off condition (i.e., not generating light) and decorative lighting apparatus 100 is therefore not emitting or projecting any light.
- either switch portion 108a or 108b can be pressed in the directions depicted by arrows A and B, respectively, to articulate switch 108 into one of two ON positions.
- Figure 3B shows switch 108 in a first ON position.
- switch 108 may have been articulated from the OFF position shown in Figure 3A in the direction shown by the arrows.
- the movement of switch portion 108b is shown by arrow A and the movement of switch portion 108a is shown by arrow B.
- switch portion 108b may have been pressed to articulate switch 108 from the OFF position to this first ON position as shown in Figure 3B .
- decorative lighting apparatus 100 in this first ON position, decorative lighting apparatus 100 may be operating in a first operating mode.
- this first ON position of switch 108 may correspond to an operation of decorative lighting apparatus 100 where light sources 106 producing both red light and green light are turned on so that decorative lighting apparatus 100 emits and projects both red light and green light.
- Figure 3C shows switch 108 in a second ON position.
- switch 108 may have been articulated from the OFF position in the direction shown by the arrows.
- the movement of switch portion 108b is shown by arrow A and the movement of switch portion 108a is shown by arrow B.
- switch portion 108a may have been pressed to articulate switch 108 from the OFF position to this second ON position as shown in Figure 3C .
- decorative lighting apparatus 100 in this second ON position, decorative lighting apparatus 100 may be operating in a second operating mode.
- this second ON position of switch 108 may correspond to an operation of decorative lighting apparatus 100 where only the light sources 106 which only produce green light are turned on so that decorative lighting apparatus 100 emits and projects only green light.
- Figure 4 shows a top view of decorative lighting apparatus 100, including a view of body 102, switch 108, and switch visual indicator 114.
- switch visual indicator 114 may include portions 114a, 114b, and 114c. Portions 114a, 114b, and 114c can include visual indicators that correlate the position of switch 108 to the operating modes of decorative lighting apparatus 100. For example, portion 114b may include a green color and portion 114c may include a red color. These colors may correspond to the first operating mode described with respect to Figure 3B , where decorative lighting apparatus 100 emits and projects both green light and red light.
- articulating switch 108 toward the side of visual indicator 114 which includes green portion 114b and red portion 114c can activate the light sources 106 which produce green light and red light.
- articulating switch 108 in this direction would turn decorative lighting apparatus 100 on to emit and project both red light and green light.
- portion 114a may include only a green portion and may correspond to the second operating mode of decorative lighting apparatus 100 described above with respect to Figure 3C .
- articulating switch 108 towards the side of visual indicator 114 which only includes green portion 114a can activate only the light sources 106 which produce green light, thereby activating decorative lighting apparatus 100 to emit and project only green light.
- Light sensor 116 can also control the operation of decorative lighting apparatus 100 in conjunction with switch 108. According to certain embodiments of the present invention, light sensor 116 measures the ambient light present and can control whether light sources 106 are on or off. For example, assuming that switch 108 is in one of the two operating modes described above, light sensor may turn the appropriate light sources 106 on or off depending on the level of ambient light measured by light sensor 116. During the day, when light sensor 116 measures a level ambient light above a certain predetermined threshold, light sensor 116 may turn light sources 106 off, regardless of the position of switch 108.
- light sensors 116 may allow light sources 106 to operate as dictated by switch 108. Accordingly, the operation of light sensor 116 can extend the lifetime of decorative lighting apparatus 100, prevent overheating of decorative lighting apparatus 100, and provide energy savings by ensuring that decorative lighting apparatus 100 is not operating continuously during high levels of ambient light when the light emitted and projected by decorative lighting apparatus 100 may be difficult to see in any event.
- decorative lighting apparatus 100 may also include a motion switch 118. Similar to switch 108, motion switch 118 may also be disposed on a top portion of body 102 to enable a user to easily access switch 118, especially while decorative lighting apparatus 100 is positioned in use where access to other portions of decorative lighting apparatus 100 may be hindered or difficult. Motion switch 118 may also optionally include weather-proofing elements to protect motion switch 118, as well as other internal components of decorative lighting apparatus 100, from the exterior environment, including weather. For example, weather-proofing elements for motion switch 118 may include rubber, plastic, and/or other sealing elements to make it substantially waterproof, dirt-proof, and the like.
- motion switch 118 may control any visual and/or optical effect that can be produced by decorative lighting apparatus 100, such as a motion, modulation, or articulation of the light produced by light source(s) 106.
- motion switch 118 may turn on and off the various visual and/or optical effects produced by decorative lighting apparatus 100, such as pulsing light sources 106, activating the colored lights being produced by light sources 106 in a pattern (e.g., first red, then green, then red, the together, etc.), moving the light being emitted and projected by decorative lighting apparatus 100.
- Moving the light being emitted and projected by decorative lighting apparatus 100 may be achieved by moving a reflective element within decorative lighting apparatus 100 so that the light projected by decorative lighting apparatus 100 on a target surface moves.
- Figure 5B shows an exploded view of motion assembly 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- motion assembly 500 may enable the movement, modulation, and/or articulation of the light which is controlled by motion switch 118.
- motion assembly 500 may include a motor 502, a connecting shaft 504, gears 506 and 508, articulating optical elements 510, articulating covers 512, a fixed optical elements seat 514, fixed optical elements 516, and fixed covers 518.
- Articulating optical elements 510 and/or fixed optical elements 516 may include attenuators as described herein and may be disposed in gears 508 or fixed optical elements seat 514 and secured via articulating covers 512 or fixed covers 512.
- Articulating optical elements 510 and fixed optical elements 516 may include any type of optical component, such as a lens, a diffracting element, an attenuator, etc., and may be disposed within a recess of gears 508 and fixed optical elements seat 514 and secured via articulating covers 512 and fixed covers 518, respectively.
- Motion switch 118 may control activation of motor 502. Once activated, motor 502 may provide a rotating or oscillating motion which may be transferred via a linkage, such as connecting shaft 504, to gear 506. The rotating or oscillating motion provided by motor 502 may rotate or oscillate gear 506, which may in turn rotate or oscillate gears 508. As shown in Figure 5B , articulating optical elements 510 may be secured within recesses of gears 508.
- articulating optical elements 510 may be secured on a separate component which may be coupled to gears 506 and/or 508 and thereby articulated via the coupling mechanism to gears 506 and/or 508. Accordingly, optical elements 510 may then be rotated or oscillated in accordance with the rotating and/or oscillating motion of gears 508.
- light sources 106 can be turned on via switch 108, and the motion, movement, modulation, and/or articulation or the light is activated via motion switch 118.
- the light generated by light sources 106 passes through articulating optical elements 510, which are articulated by motor 502. Accordingly, as the light passes through articulating optical elements 510, the light is articulated, in accordance with the motion provided by motor 502, on the surface onto which decorative lighting apparatus 100 is projecting the light. For example, if the light is being projected on a wall, the articulation of the articulating optical elements 510 may cause the light to move across the surface of the wall.
- the light may rotate in a circular manner, the light may oscillate linearly or rotationally about an axis, etc. on the surface on which the light is being projected.
- articulating optical elements 510 and/or fixed optical elements 516 may include optical features to scatter, or create patterns in the light being projected.

- Attenuators 606 can include any type of attenuating device to be placed in the path of the light generated by light sources 106.
- attenuator 606 can include an opening/slit or a lens to diffract and/or scatter the light produced by light source 106.
- attenuators can include an optical attenuator (e.g., fixed, variable, etc.) to reduce the power of the light produced by light sources 106. Attenuators may be necessary where light sources 106 include lasers since lasers can be dangerous and can cause damage to eyesight.
- Attenuator 606 is shown to be substantially square, attenuator 606 may be any shape, such as a circle, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, octagon, or any other shape.
- Figure 6B shows an exemplary scatter pattern 690 that may be employed by attenuator 606. Attenuator 606 is not limited to the scatter pattern 690 shown in Figure 6B . Attenuator 606 may include any scattering or attenuating elements therein.
