Abstract:
1. An easily portable, decorative light comprising: (a) a metallic candelabrum fixture resting on a rectangular base, the base defining a horizontal plane, the candelabrum fixture having a plurality of arms branching laterally from a central post, the plurality of arms defining a vertical plane running through the central post, each arm comprising an S-curve, the horizontal plane of the base being perpendicular to the vertical plane of the arms, the base supporting the candelabrum fixture and permitting the candelabrum fixture to be freestanding; (b) a plurality of artificial flower blossoms supported on the candelabrum fixture, each artificial flower blossom being centered about the vertical plane, and each artificial flower blossom comprising an artificial corolla and an artificial calyx, the corolla being made of see-through glass and forming a first cuplike cavity having closed sides and an open top, the calyx being metallic and having a plurality of artificial sepals, each sepal having a fixed end and a cantilevered end opposite the fixed end, each fixed end being attached to a second cuplike cavity, the second cuplike cavity encasing a bottom of the artificial corolla, each sepal having a drop ornament dangling from the cantilevered end; (c) a light emitting diode (LED) centered in each of the artificial flower blossoms, each LED being encapsulated in an artificial flame formed from plastic, each LED being secured at the bottom of the artificial corolla; (d) a control circuit housed within the base and electronically connected to each LED, the control circuit having electronic circuitry to cause each LED to illuminate at a preselected time each day, remain illuminated for a predetermined interval, then extinguish, where the preselected time is not selected based on an ambient light level, and the predetermined interval is not determined based on the ambient light level; and (e) a battery housed within the base and electrically connected to each LED and the control circuit to provide electrical power to each LED and the control circuit.
