Abstract: Disclosed herein are lighting devices which may include one or more sheets with lighting components on the sheet or sheets, and also a mounting device for securing the lighting device to a surface. The lighting devices are typically configured to position the sheet or sheets in a deployed position wherein the lighting components are substantially visible, and a retracted position wherein the lighting components are substantially obscured. The disclosed lighting devices may move the sheet between the retracted and deployed positions by winding or unwinding the sheet. The disclosed lighting devices may be configured for attachment to a building or vehicle. In some examples, two of the disclosed lighting devices may be connected together. The connection may provide for substantially joint movement of the two lighting devices. Some disclosed lighting devices may also include a picture that may or may not be fully or partially formed by the lighting components.
