| Title: |
Illumination Device For Simulation Neon Lighting |
| Abstract: |
An illumination device generally comprises a plurality of light-emitting
diodes (LEDs); a housing for receiving the plurality of LEDs; a
light-diffusing member positioned adjacent the housing for receiving
light emitted from the LEDs; and a slotted and reflective circuit board
for operably connecting the LEDs to a power source and/or control system.
The flexible substrate can be manipulated from a first, substantially
flat position to a second position by folding the substrate along upper
and lower longitudinal axes defined by slots oriented longitudinally and
along either side of a central longitudinal axis of the substrate, such
that the substrate can be inserted into the housing in an approximate
U-shape. By manipulating the substrate from the first position to the
second position in this manner, light from the LEDs that is not directly
emitted into the light-diffusing member is collected and reflected by the
circuit board into the light-diffusing member.
