Method of Illuminating Ornament

摘要

A method of illuminating an ornament having a light emitting source, a battery power source and a control circuit energizing the light source at desired intensities over desired durations of time. Light from the right source travels through an ornament wall. The method repeats the steps of increasing the light intensity from a low to a high intensity during a rise time period; decreasing the light intensity to a low intensity during a fall time period which is not less than the rise time period; and, maintaining the low intensity of light during a remaining time period which is not less than the combined rise and fall time periods. The low intensity of light is less than one third the high intensity. The light intensity decreased and maintained briefly at zero intensity during an off time period between the remaining and rise time periods in an imperceptible manner.

主权项

1. A method of illuminating ornament comprising an electric light emitting source coupled to a battery power source and a control circuit adapted to energize said light emitting source at desired light intensities over desired durations of time, wherein light emitted by said light emitting source travels through a wall of said ornament, said method comprising the consecutively repeating steps of:
during a rise time period, increasing the light intensity from a low intensity to a high intensity; during a fall time period which is not less than said rise time period, decreasing the light intensity from said high intensity to said low intensity; and, during a remaining time period which is not less than combined rise time and fall time periods, maintaining the light intensity at said low intensity.
