Abstract: Modular illuminated trophies comprise a base and a pedestal mounting an upwardly extending tubular column with a figurine or statuette. The columns are secured together by interior rods, and the internal light bars are conformed to clear the rods. Multiple LED's on the light bars illuminate the column interiorly. A control circuit located within the base is operated by a user accessible button. Each decorative column is made from translucent, tinted plastic to distributes or diffuses light. The LED's may be the same color or multi-colored, and they create several different light patterns by flashing, alternating in different patterns, or by fading in and out.
