| Title: |
Methods and Systems For Illuminating Household Products |
| Abstract: |
Methods and systems for generating one or more scents in conjunction with
light. Light of various colors, including dynamic lighting effects, may
be generated such that at least one characteristic of the light may be
based at least in part on one or more characteristics of a scent or
scents, and/or proximate environmental conditions. In one example, one or
more LED-based light sources are employed together with a scent-producing
facility in a conventional household product (e.g., an integrated
air-freshener/LED night light, an LED-simulated candle with scent, etc.).
