  • Patent number: 9192243
    Abstract: The invention utilizes a number of thin, flexible layers placed in parallel to each other and the back wall of a window well. The inner layer is translucent such that when lit, the lighting shines through the layer and illuminates the middle and outer layers or shines through all the layers and through the window well and into the room. Alternatively, the inner layer is reflective so that it reflects light directed towards it into the other layers. The various layers can be variably transparent, translucent and/or opaque and can be shaded. By spacing the layers apart, depth can be imparted to a viewer. The outermost layer can have the appearance of a metallic film and/or artistic representations. This outer film can be stenciled such that patterns of light shine through in various places.
