ABSTRACT:
A lighted water globe comprises a base having a hollowed interior and a water filled glass dome arrangement supported on the base. The glass dome arrangement has a lower portion accessible within the base interior and the lower portion has a window through which light may pass. A bundle of fiber optic elements is disposed within the glass dome arrangement, the fiber optic elements terminating at an end of the bundle adjacent the window. A light source is disposed in the base interior directing light to the bundle end through the window. A music box movement provides mechanical power to rotate an effects wheel to dynamically alter the light as it passes from the light source to the window and on to the bundle end of the fiber optic elements, creating interesting and changing lighting effects. The internal objects within the water globe may be made from a material which glows in the dark.
