  • Patent number: 10125954
    Abstract: An outdoor projector light includes an enclosure, a projection device and a rotation device mounted inside the enclosure. A support device is connected with the enclosure. A primary lighting unit and a secondary lighting unit with multiple secondary lamps thereon are mounted on the support frame. The rotation device has a motor, a gear-pressing plate, a rotation base and a lens-mounting disc with multiple lenses thereon. The rotation base is rotatably mounted to the projection device and abuts against the gear-pressing plate to ensure stable operation of the rotation base. The lens-mounting disc is mounted on the rotation base. The lenses are even multiples of the secondary lamps in number. When the rotation device rotates the lens-mounting disc, light emitted from the secondary lighting unit passes through the lenses to project an even number of patterns simulating open and closed states of an umbrella with variation of dynamic pattern movement.
