  • Lighted Artwork Holder
    Publication number: 20080163529
    Abstract: Various implementations of the present invention provide systems and methods for lighting artwork. One implementation provides for placing the artwork, such as a photograph, in intimate contact with a transparent compliant layer. A transparent front panel is placed in front of the compliant layer. A light source is disposed along an edge of the front panel and compliant layer so that light radiated by the light source travels into the front panel and then through the compliant layer where the light is scattered back to an observer.

  • Variable color landscape lighting
    Patent number: 7204608
    Abstract: A system of variable color landscape lights illuminated by multiple light emitting diode chips provides the user a controllable spectral output. In its various configurations, the electronic control system allows a selection of various spectral light radiation. The color output of the light emitting diode chips is electronically controlled and can be changed by means of a push button switch, radio frequency control, infrared control, signals impressed on line voltages, and other control system means.
