Abstract:
A sparkle light bulb comprising:a plurality of different colored light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs mounted in a predetermined spaced-apart arrangement on a circuit board; controller circuit means in electrically operative communication with the plurality of different colored LED bulbs for selectively operating the plurality of different colored LED bulbs, wherein the selective operation functions in such a way as to allow the plurality of different colored LED bulbs to be locked at any desired point in a spectrum of colors resulting from pre-programmed, dynamic color cyclic patterns produced by the plurality of the different colored LED bulbs, by a single power off/power on cycle for selection; the controller circuit means further including memory means for saving individual intensity settings for each color of the plurality of different colored LED bulbs, wherein the intensity settings for each color of the plurality of different colored LED bulbs is saved to memory at the instant power is removed to allow for the locking of the plurality of different colored LED bulbs at the desired point in the spectrum of colors resulting from the pre-programmed, dynamic color cyclic patterns; the controller circuit means, including the memory means, being in electrically operative communication with means for electrically connecting the sparkle light bulb to a 12 VAC power source; and a light bulb housing having an open proximal end from which the plurality of different colored LED bulbs are exposed for emitting generated light and a closed distal end, at which the means for electrically connecting the sparkle light bulb to the 12 VAC power source is located, wherein the controller circuit means is programmed so that when an operator of the sparkle light bulb turns the power off and then turns the power back on within a pre-set time interval, the color pattern produced at the desired point in the spectrum of colors by the saved individual intensity of each color at the time power was removed, is displayed and held until another power off/power on cycle occurs, and wherein the controller circuit means is further programmed so that when the operator of the sparkle light bulb turns the power off and then subsequently turns the power back on after the expiration of the pre-set time interval, the sparkle bulb will reset when powered on and restart the pre-programmed, dynamic color cyclic patterns.
