Cover for a light bulb

摘要

A more versatile cover for a light bulb, such as a compact fluorescent lamp or light emitting diode, that is aesthetically pleasing, flexible, and requires no modifications to the bulb while also capable of fitting a multitude of bulb configurations and sizes. The cover may include a hollow and at least partially elastic body in a pre-formed shape having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the body is removable and frictionally secured to said bulb to form an envelope around the bulb. The body may also include a collar and a bulbous section, which extends from the collar. The collar is configured to engage the base of the light bulb and create a substantially airtight seal between the base and the body. The body is fabricated from a light pervious material, and any light transmitted by the cover is preferably substantially diffuse.
