ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for illuminating lighting elements in one or more predetermined patterns. A preferred frequency controlled lighting system implementing this method includes a motion switch, a controller, a sound generator, and lighting elements. The motion switch creates an activation signal in response to movement of the motion switch, which is detected by the controller. In response to the properties of the activation signal, the controller illuminates the lighting elements in one or more predetermined patterns, or the controller actuates the sound generator to generate sound. Preferably, the lighting system utilizes at least two integrated circuits where a first integrated circuit functions as the controller and a second integrated circuit, having a higher cutoff operating voltage than the first integrated circuit, functions as the sound generator.
