Patent ID: 6976777

Claim:
A simulated neon-light tube assembly comprising: a) a transparent tube having a open first end and a second end, and an inner and outer surface; b) a light-diffusing material comprising a plastic film having a wall thickness ranging from 0.031 to 0.188 inches, and wherein said light-diffusing material substantially covers said inner surface of said tube, c) a light source located within and proximate to the open first end of said tube, d) a power source connected to said light source, wherein when said light source is activated by said power source, light is emitted and refracted along said light-diffusing material simulating the glow of a neon-light tube, and e) a light-reflecting disk having a reflecting inner surface and an outer surface, wherein said light-reflecting disk is located within and proximate to said second end of said tube such that a portion of said emitted light impinges on said disk and is reflected back into said tube to produce an even distribution of light along the inner surface of said tube.
