Abstract

An electro-luminescent seasonal light apparatus includes a pig-tail plug mated with one pig-tail socket which extends from a regular seasonal Christmas/Halloween light string and provides a first AC power having a first voltage and a first frequency, an extension wire electrically connected to the pig-tail plug, a circuit box electrically connected to the extension wire for converting the first AC power to a second AC power which has a second voltage and a second frequency, an electro-luminescent component electrically connected to the circuit box for receiving the second AC power and flashing thereby, and a pattern shaper attached to the electro-luminescent component.

Claims

1. An electro-luminescent seasonal light apparatus comprising a pig-tail plug mated with one pig-tail socket which extends from a regular seasonal Christmas/Halloween light string and provides a first AC power having a first voltage and a first frequency, an extension wire electrically connected to said pig-tail plug, a circuit box electrically connected to said extension wire for converting said first AC power to a second AC power having a second voltage and a second frequency, an electro-luminescent component electrically connected to said circuit box for receiving said second AC power and lighting up thereby, and a pattern shaper attached to said electro-luminescent component.
