A method of illuminating an ornament having a light emitting source, a battery power source and a control circuit energizing the light source at desired intensities over desired durations of time. Light from the right source travels through an ornament wall. The method repeats the steps of increasing the light intensity from a low to a high intensity during a rise time period; decreasing the light intensity to a low intensity during a fall time period which is not less than the rise time period; and, maintaining the low intensity of light during a remaining time period which is not less than the combined rise and fall time periods. The low intensity of light is less than one third the high intensity. The light intensity decreased and maintained briefly at zero intensity during an off time period between the remaining and rise time periods in an imperceptible manner.

Method of illuminating ornament

An illuminated ornament having an electronics assembly including a battery holder, a cap, a light emitting source and a control circuit is inserted through a hole axially into the ornament enclosure thereby locating the light source at a distance from the enclosure wall. The enclosure wall allow light to travel therethrough. A diffusing and reflecting cap which is preferably conical shaped converging towards a disk shaped end wall surrounds the light source and both allows light to travel therethrough and reflects light behind the light source to the enclosure wall. The battery holder is permanently attached to the assembly cap and the electronics assembly is removable from the enclosure in one piece. The assembly cap closes the hole. The differential pressure between the inside and outside of the enclosure is relieved preventing air and water entry through the assembly cap to enclosure interface.
