Illumination device for a balloon

摘要

An illumination device for mounting inside a balloon comprises a light source, such as LED, and a battery power source for the light source, both mounted in a housing. The housing is provided as an inner part of a first plastics material in which the battery power source is housed and an outer casing of a second plastics material, which at least partially surrounds the inner part and provides a cover for the light source. The second plastics material is transparent and resiliently deformable and may be a thermoplastics elastomer. In preferred embodiments the housing is provided as a one-piece unit which is a co-molding of the first plastics material and the second plastics material, and which is provided as two mating sections hingedly connected to each other.
