Abstract

A decorative water lamp includes a water container, a support base located under the water container and having an upper mouth, a light emitter unit fixed under the upper mouth and having a plurality of light emitters (such as LED) of different colors--green, red and blue--to be lit up in various orders to shine the water in the water container through the upper mouth of the support base. Air is blown by a pump controller fixed in the support base through an air tube extending in the water container to produce shocked water current flowing in a regular rhythm added with colored lights from the light emitters, which is controlled to light up in various orders by means of an electronic circuit board powered by a power supplier. Further, a programmed main controller is provided to control turning on and off of the light emitter unit and turning on and off of the pump controller, provided with s speaker sounding out various music in combination with the water current flowing with a regular rhythm and shined with colored lights.

Claims

1. A decorative water lamp comprising:

a water container having a hollow interior for holding water, and a transparent circumferential wall to be seen through from outside;

a support base fixed under the bottom of said water container to secure the same stably, having an upper mouth as a light hole for light to pass through;

a light emitter unit located just under said light hole of said supporting base, having a plurality of light emitters of different colors, said light of said light emitters shining through said light hole of said support base into the interior of said water container;

an electronic circuit board controlling turning on and off and lighting order of said light emitters of said light emitter unit;

a pump controller fixed in said support base, having an air tube extending through said light hole of said support base in the interior of said water container, water in said water container producing shocked water current flowing in a regular rhythm and said light emitters lit up in various orders when said pump controller and said electronic circuit board are powered;

a check valve provided in the route of said air tube of said pump controller, preventing the water in said water container from flowing into said air tube to said pump controller; and

,

a power supplier supplying power to said electronic circuit board, said pump controller, and said light emitter unit.

2. The decorative water lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein said air tube extending in the interior of said water container further has an air valve with many small holes fixed on an upper end, and a foam sheet covered around said air valve.

3. The decorative water lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein a manual change-over switch is further provided on an outer side of said support base for driving said electronic circuit board to manually select lighting order of said light emitters.

4. The decorative water lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light emitters are LED.

5. The decorative water lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein a manual air quantity switch is further provided on the outer side of said support base, manually controlling air quantity blown out of said pump controller so as to alter strength of water current caused in said water container.

6. The decorative water lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein said pump controller has a function in altering strength of air flowing through said air tube into said water container so as to alter strength of water current therein.

7. The decorative water lamp as claimed in claim 1, wherein a programmed main controller is further provided in said power supplier, controlling lighting order of said light emitter unit and turning on and off time of said pump controller, and a speaker connected with said programmed main controller to sound out various music to correspond to turning on and off of said pump controller, for obtaining synchronous operation of colored water current and music.
