Flexible neon led nightlight

Abstract

A nightlight including a base and an electrical prong secured to the base and adapted to be inserted into an electrical outlet is disclosed. A main circuit is coupled to the electrical prong and contained within the base. A flexible neon LED strip is coupled to the main circuit for receiving an electrical current. A support frame is configured in the shape of an image wherein the support frame has an arcuate shaped cross-section or a C-shaped cross-section sized to receive the flexible neon LED strip. The flexible neon LED strip is positioned along the support frame whereby the flexible neon LED strip when energized emits light corresponding to the image and illuminates an area adjacent the night light. A sound transducer may produce an electrical signal as a function of an ambient sound. The flexible neon LED strip may comprise an RGB LED, an RGB IC, or a solid color LED to produce different colors of light. The main circuit may vary the color of the emitted light that is produced by the flexible neon LED strip as a function of a switch, a remote control, or the ambient sound. The support frame may comprise a back wall and a plurality of side walls where the back wall is translucent or transparent and where the flexible neon LED strip may emit light out of a front surface and a back surface of the flexible neon LED strip. Alternatively, the support frame may comprise an arcuate cross-section where the back wall is translucent or transparent and where the flexible neon LED strip is cylindrical and may emit light out of a front surface and a back surface or all surfaces of the flexible neon LED strip.
