Patent ID: 7581858

Claim:
An illuminating apparatus to show music effects with light sequences, the illuminating apparatus consisting of: a base structure to support the apparatus configured to be fixed on a socket of a motor vehicle, the socket comprising cables accessible to provide direct current power to the apparatus; a switch on the base structure configured to manually activate functions of the apparatus; a container configured to define shapes cut from the container and further configured to surround the base structure and permit light to be transmitted therethrough, the container comprising a light emitting device configured to provide white light upon activation by the switch; a direct current motor comprising a rotatable axle extending therefrom, the motor configured for attachment to the base structure within the container at the end opposite the axle; a circuit board attached to the axle so as to permit rotation of the circuit board within the container by the direct current motor, the circuit board configured to activate sequences of light from light emitting sources upon detection of a music signal and further configured to detect a signal from a remote control; a plurality of light emitting sources operably connected to the circuit board to rotate with the circuit board and to project light through the container in a manner controlled by the circuit board; and, a remote control comprising buttons for controlling apparatus operational functions selected from the group consisting of turning the apparatus on; turning the apparatus off; engaging manual operation of the apparatus; engaging automatic operation of the apparatus; changing the sequence of lights; and changing speed of rotation of the plurality of light emitting sources.
