  • Patent number: 6352352
    Abstract: A drink container, such as a drinking glass, drinking cup, a vase, or a bottle, is illuminated with an LED. The power for the LED is supplied by quick-charging capacitors which are integrated in a cavity of the container together with the LED. The LED is disposed in a wedge-shaped recess which effects advantageous distribution of the light through the obliquely inclined walls. The capacitors are typically charged within a matter of seconds and they have a virtually unlimited cycle life.
