  • Patent number: 12092296
    Abstract: A firework lighting device comprises a spherical body, multiple conical elements detachably mounted to the spherical body and a light module mounted inside the spherical body. The spherical body is hollow and formed by assembling two shells and two terminal caps. The light module has multiple light strips respectively extending into the multiple conical elements and emitting light in multiple colors. The spherical body and the conical elements form a shape with a sphere at middle and multiple cones radiating outwardly from the sphere, which looks like fireworks. When turned on, the light strips of the light module light the conical elements up, so the firework lighting device produces a lighting effect resembling fireworks, thereby increasing decoration effects. Also, because the two shells and the two terminal caps of the spherical body are detachable, manufacturing convenience of the spherical body is increased.
