Publication number: 20130039067Abstract: The retractable, light-emitting structure comprises of a string structure that has several light-emitting components: a fixed housing with openings at each end and a mobile housing with openings at each end. The ends of each housing are matched up to create a retractable lid that displays the emitting light inside the fixed housing. The mobile housing would inwardly retract along the fixed housing to make the retractable cover. These structures are ideally installed on the eaves or edges of a housing complex and are controlled by a remote control device that allows for color customization and the ability to control the mobile housing in accordance to different holidays, festivals, and user preference.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2011Publication date: February 14, 2013Inventor: Tsui-Yun WONG
