Illuminated waterfall apparatus

摘要

An illuminated waterfall apparatus (10) having structure (20, 30) defining an inlet (220) for receiving water, an elongate outlet opening (90) that in situ extends 5 substantially horizontally, a flow path (60) for conveying water from the inlet (220) to the outlet opening (90) from which in operation the water falls in a freely falling stream (200), and a light transmission solid (20) for transmitting light. The light transmission solid (20) is arranged to at least partly define an outer periphery of the flow path (60). The apparatus (10) further includes one or more light sources (50) arranged to project 10 light into the light transmission solid (20) and an optical feature (110) associated with the light transmission solid (20) and being at least approximately parallel to the outlet opening (90) deflecting light transmitted by the light transmission solid (20) into the water so that the light is transmitted by the stream of water (200) falling from the outlet opening (90) to produce a decorative effect viewable from in front of the outlet 15 opening (90).
