US Patent 7073932 Optical fiber decorative assembly

A decorative assembly for use within a floral arrangement includes a plurality of optical fibers, a plurality of light emitting diodes, a base portion, and a power source. The optical fibers each have first and second ends. The light emitting diodes are coupled to the first end of each of the optical fibers for illuminating the optical fibers. The base portion houses the lighting emitting diodes and at least a portion of the optical fibers. The power source is coupled to the light emitting diodes through an optional light driving circuit. The optical fibers are illuminated such that the light emitted at the second end of the optical fibers creates an aesthetically decorative effect within the floral arrangement.
