F21V 31/00
F21V 33/00

Abstract:

Lighting effects can be added to various items such as sporting goods and toys, such as cheer poms, cheer megaphones, pool and beach floats, rafts, stuffed toys, vases and hanging planters, flower/bouquet wraps and seating, such as automotive seating. The lights may be LED lights that provide a relatively bright light output with respect to the power consumed. The LED lights may be selectable between various colors and may flash, be solid, or light in a pattern, as is known in the art. One or more solar charging units may be used to charge a power source, such as a battery pack, in the item. In other embodiments, a rechargeable battery pack may be charged by plugging in the device or having the device in proximity to a proximity charger, for example. Alternatively, a standard replaceable battery pack may be used in the device.
