ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for backlighting a stained glass ornament, on a Christmas tree, or the like, is disclosed. A platform is provided with a slotted or "keyhole" opening adapted to slidingly receive the base of a standard Christmas tree light. Attached at one side of the base, and perpendicular thereto, is a focal reflective surface to direct the light of the miniature electric lamp common to such strings of lights toward a decorative light transmissive panel located on the opposite side of the base. In one embodiment described herein, the reflective, or mirror, portion of the apparatus is round or oval: in a second embodiment it is generally rectangular in shape. The slotted opening in the preferred embodiment is of the keyhole type to secure the miniature lamp in the desired position and the device is further equipped with an attachment member to attach the unit to a tree or other object that the user wishes to adorn.
