Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for emitting light, sound and/or fragrance, which comprises a housing and means therein for connecting the apparatus to an electrical power source. A lighting system, sound system and fragrance system are mounted on or within the housing and are enabled simultaneously or individually by the electrical power source. The housing contains perforations, permeable membranes and/or translucent coverings on or in its walls to allow for the transmission of light, sound and fragrance when the apparatus is activated. The lighting system can be used as a direct light, nightlight, back light or a projected light, and the fragrance system utilizes various fragrances depending on the users desires. The sound system may contain a permanent sound chip or interchangeable sound cartridges, and the housing may have an almost limitless variety of desirable forms or designs and may contain interchangeable face plates to provide a wide variety of alternative decorative options. Because of the many decorative and functional options, the inventive apparatus can be made in different customized forms and located throughout the rooms of a house, with each customized apparatus being adapted to the specific room in which the apparatus is located in order to create a desired theme or environmental effect suitable for the particular room.
