ABSTRACT:
A device for providing illumination in conjunction with a sprinkler system has a body with an opening through it and at least one appendage extending from the body. The device takes on the appearance of a living thing, such as a flower, creature, or three-dimensional art.The opening in the body allows for the passage of liquid from the sprinkler system through the illuminator and provides a means for mounting the device near plants and flowers. A light source, preferably a light emitting diode, is embedded in the device itself and provides the illumination source.The opening includes a roughened surface along a portion of its length, which helps to refract the light emitted from the light source and adds to the quality of the display. A pivoting head assembly allows a user to adjust the pattern of liquid spray and also provides an easy means of maintenance.
