ABSTRACT:
An ornamental lighting apparatus for a pool uses reflectors on a curved surface wherein the curved surface is preferably a hemisphere with a plurality of mirrors mounted on its outer surface. The hemisphere is connected to one or more lights which are directed at the mirrors on the hemisphere. Although movement of the lighting apparatus and/or the water in the pool is sufficient to create a varying light pattern on the sides and bottom of the pool, in a preferred embodiment, the mirrored hemisphere is rotated with respect to the lights to create a moving pattern of light on the pool walls and bottom. The lighting apparatus may be positioned such that a base unit is resting on the bottom of the pool with the connector between the light containing base unit and the hemisphere being of adjustable length. Alternatively, the entire lighting apparatus may float within the pool and the connector may be of fixed length. The hemisphere may be formed to be a closed container with a resealable opening and the buoyancy of the apparatus may be adjusted by adding selected amounts of water to the hemisphere. The lighting and the motor for rotation, if used, may be powered by a low-voltage rechargeable battery.
