Abstract: A decoration device may include a backlit panel inside an interior space of an ornament structure. The panel may include a decorative scene that is viewable from outside the ornament structure, and one or more light sources may be substantially aligned with certain elements of the scene (e.g., candles, a fireplace, stars, or the like) so that those elements have the appearance of emitting light that illuminates other portions of the decorative scene.

Abstract: Some embodiments of a decoration apparatus may have an attractive appearance and multi-functional capabilities. The decoration apparatus may include one or more internal light sources that provide lighting effects in combination with decorative elements formed in the structure. In addition to providing internal lighting effects, the decoration apparatus may include a projector device, which is capable of displaying a light pattern on a remote surface, such as a wall or a ceiling.

Abstract: One or more decoration devices may include an internal light source that projects light through apertures formed in the outer surface of the ornament structure. Each decoration device may be equipped with a translucent divider panel that prevents viewability between a first set of apertures and an oppositely disposed, second set of apertures.

Abstract: A load management controller (LMC) can include a power distribution circuit to supply and regulate current to a plurality of low voltage devices. In certain embodiments, the LMC may receive power from an AC power source and may further include an AC-AC transformer, a microcontroller to regulate voltage and current to user programmable levels, one or supplementary current limiters, and a plurality of receptacles to removably and electrically couple the LMC to the plurality of low voltage devices. In various embodiments, the low voltage devices comprise lights, motors, actuators, and/or audio devices.
