Abstract:
A lighting system includes a first light device having a housing; a suction means secured to a first end of the housing, the suction means being configured to removably secure the housing to a transparent structure; a light carried within the housing; and a power source conductively coupled to the light. The method includes securing the housing to the transparent structure; and directing light through the transparent structure with the light.

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates generally to display systems, and more specifically, to a removable lighting system for temporarily adhering lights to a smooth surface. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     Lighting systems are well known in the art and are effective means to advertise information or create artistic displays. For example,  FIG. 1  depicts a conventional lighting system  101  having a neon sign  103 , a window  105 , and a source of electricity  107 . During use, the neon sign  103  is hung in the window  105  while the source of electricity  107  enables the sign  103  to illuminate. 
     One of the problems commonly associated with system  101  is its limited use. For example, the message of sign  103  is fixed and cannot be changed. Additionally manually creating light displays are time consuming, messy and difficult to reproduce. 
     Accordingly, although great strides have been made in the area of display systems, many shortcomings remain.

     While the system and method of use of the present application is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and are herein described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the description herein of specific embodiments is not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiment disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present application as defined by the appended claims. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     Illustrative embodiments of the system and method of use of the present application are provided below. It will of course be appreciated that in the development of any actual embodiment, numerous implementation-specific decisions will be made to achieve the developer&#39;s specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which will vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it will be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure. 
     The system and method of use in accordance with the present application overcomes one or more of the above-discussed problems commonly associated with conventional display systems. Specifically, multiple components of a sign can individually adhere to smooth surfaces to allow for the message of the sign to be easily changed or reconfigured. In addition, there is no mess, and patterns can be easily reproduced. These and other unique features of the system and method of use are discussed below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. 
     The system and method of use will be understood, both as to its structure and operation, from the accompanying drawings, taken in conjunction with the accompanying description. Several embodiments of the system are presented herein. It should be understood that various components, parts, and features of the different embodiments may be combined together and/or interchanged with one another, all of which are within the scope of the present application, even though not all variations and particular embodiments are shown in the drawings. It should also be understood that the mixing and matching of features, elements, and/or functions between various embodiments is expressly contemplated herein so that one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate from this disclosure that the features, elements, and/or functions of one embodiment may be incorporated into another embodiment as appropriate, unless described otherwise. 
     The preferred embodiment herein described is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. It is chosen and described to explain the principles of the invention and its application and practical use to enable others skilled in the art to follow its teachings. 
     Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters identify corresponding or similar elements throughout the several views,  FIG. 2  depicts a front view of a suction light system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present application. It will be appreciated that system  201  overcomes one or more of the above-listed problems commonly associated with conventional display systems. 
     In the contemplated embodiment, system  201  includes one or more suction light devices  203 , one or more smooth surfaces  205 , and one or more sources of electricity  207 . In use the suction light devices  203  are attached to the smooth surface  205  via a vacuum created by the suction light devices  203 , and then connected to the source of electricity  207  to power the light display. 
     It should be appreciated that one of the unique features believed characteristic of the present application is that each light  203  individually adheres to the smooth surface  205  to allow infinite varieties of displays to be created. Additionally it is contemplated that the individual components could be mechanically re-configured. 
     Referring now to  FIG. 3  the suction light device  203  of  FIG. 2  is depicted, the device comprising one or more suction means  301  with a transparent center  303  and a housing  305 , and one or more light sources  307  in electronic communication with a signal receiving device  309  that is in electronic communication with a power input means  311 . While the suction means  301  has been depicted as a suction cup, any other means of attaching a light to a surface via suction and any arrangement thereof is contemplated. It will be understood that the signal receiving device  309  receives signals that could change any aspect of the light produced by the light source  307 . 
     Referring now to  FIG. 4  an alternative embodiment of the suction light device  203  of  FIG. 2  is depicted. In this embodiment  401  the suction means  403  is lined with a reflective material  405 . It will be appreciate that this material increases the perceived intensity or brightness of the light source  407 . 
     Referring finally to  FIG. 5  another embodiment of suction light device  203  of  FIG. 2  is depicted. In this embodiment  501  the suction means  503  is lined with tinted material  505 . It will be also be appreciated that this lining modifies the color of the light from the light source  507 . It is further contemplated that a lens of any type or tint could be applied to focus or disperse the light as well as change the color of the light. 
     The particular embodiments disclosed above are illustrative only, as the embodiments may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein.
