Structures for color changing light devices
First Claim
1. A combination multicolored and white light source, volatile active dispenser and sound transmission device, comprising:
- a white light source, light and sound show circuitry, and at least one light group comprising red, green and blue lights,the light and sound show circuitry comprising memory for storing at least one colored light and sound show,a replaceable cartridge containing a volatile active material disposed within a base, the cartridge comprising an indicator that is linked to the light and sound show circuitry, the indicator being specific to the volatile active contained in the cartridge, the light and sound show circuitry selecting a particular light and sound show or sequence of light and sound shows from the memory of the light and sound show circuitry based on the indicator of the cartridge,an outer shell connected to the base and enclosing the white light source and red, green and blue lights, the outer shell comprising a decorative pattern, anda transducer for transmitting sound.

Abstract
A light element includes a decorative, patterned translucent outer shell and a base. The base supports a plurality of LEDs positioned so as to emit a light show through the shell. The device also includes a compartment for receiving and securing a replaceable volatile active cartridge and a heater for enabling the device to effectively emit an active ingredient from the cartridge when the cartridge is secured in the compartment A white light source is provided in the shell as a source of illumination along with the LEDs The device can be used as a white light source, for displaying a colored light show, for displaying colored light is schemes and for volatile active emission. The device may include an acoustic transducer for producing light and sound shows. The device may also include a light sensor, a motion detector and/or a microphone or acoustic receiver thereby enabling the light and sound show to be dependent upon ambient light intensity, motion detection and/or ambient noise.
