Color-changing submersible lighting fixture with control circuit responsive to timed interruptions of the power source
First Claim
1. In a pool lighting system including a plurality of lighting fixtures each powered by a common alternating-current power source, each lighting fixture comprising:
- color-changing light source;
an electric transformer powering the color-changing light source for emitting a plurality of colors of light in a predetermined sequence;
an interruptible source of alternating current, common to each of the plurality of lighting fixtures; and
a control circuit, responsive to the interruptible source of alternating current for controlling the color-changing light source in response to an interruption in the source of alternating current, whereby the color-changing light source of each of the plurality of lighting fixtures are synchronized.

Abstract
The lighting fixture includes a housing having an interior cavity and a transparent cover. A color-changing electric light assembly is provided in the interior cavity. The light assembly emits a plurality of different colors of light through the transparent cover and cycles through the plurality of different colors of light to sequentially emit each of the plurality of different colors of light. A synchronization circuit responds to a timed interruption in the power for synchronizing the color-changing electric light assembly with a color-changing electric light assembly of another underwater lighting fixture connected to the same power.

3. A lighting system comprising a plurality of submersible lighting fixtures powered by a single alternating-current source of power, each of said lighting fixtures comprising:
-
a sealed housing; a color-changing light source for selectively emitting light of a plurality of colors of light, the light source being contained within the sealed housing; and a synchronization circuit, responsive to an alternating-current source of power applied to the lighting fixture, for controlling the light source in response to timed interruptions in the alternating-current source of power, each of said timed interruptions is used as a reference point by the synchronization circuit the color-changing light sources of each of said lighting fixtures to be synchronized to simultaneously emit the same color of light. - View Dependent Claims (4)
