ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to an apparatus for illuminating a decorative scene disposed adjacent to a wall of an aquarium, terrarium, or other such enclosure. The invention provides an easy to use apparatus which effectively and uniformly illuminates a decorative background and is suitable for use with a wide variety of shapes and sizes of these types of enclosures. In a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises a housing defining a cavity having an inner surface, an outer surface, an upper and lower edge, and a top portion, wherein at least a portion of the inner surface is a reflective surface and is inclined relative to the wall of the enclosure. The inclined inner surface includes means for reflecting light incident on at least a part thereof. The apparatus further comprises means for allowing said housing to be selectively attached upon an enclosure such that the reflective cavity lies exterior to and adjacent to at least a portion of the wall of the enclosure which has a decorative scene disposed thereon. A light source positioned external to the cavity projects light onto the reflective surface within the reflective chamber.
