Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A landscape light including a housing including a first compartment and a second compartment, the first compartment being substantially weather-proofed and the second compartment being in fluid communication with an exterior of the housing, a light source producing a light disposed in the first compartment, and a heatsink for dissipating heat generated by the light source disposed in the second compartment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed as invention is: 1. A landscape light comprising: a housing including a first compartment and a second compartment, the first compartment being substantially weather-proofed and the second compartment being in fluid communication with an exterior of the housing; a light source producing a light disposed in the first compartment; a pattern generation assembly including a removably mountable slide cartridge securing at least one pattern generator in a path of the light such that the light passing through the at least one pattern generator is projected onto a surface in a pattern defined by the at least one pattern generator; an articulation assembly configured to articulate the light on the surface onto which the light is being projected; and a heatsink for dissipating heat generated by the light source disposed in the second compartment. 2. The landscape light of claim 1 , wherein the light source is a light emitting diode. 3. The landscape light of claim 2 , wherein the light source includes a plurality of light emitting diodes. 4. The landscape light of claim 1 , wherein the articulation assembly includes a motor configured to rotate the at least one pattern generator such that the motor imparts movement to the light passing through the at least one pattern generator. 5. The landscape light of claim 4 , wherein a speed of the movement is adjustable. 6. The landscape light of claim 2 , further comprising a second light source producing a second light, each of the first light and the second light including a different color, wherein the second light source is a light emitting diode. 7. The landscape light of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless controller. 8. The landscape light of claim 1 , further comprising a ground stake and a mounting bracket. 9. The landscape light of claim 8 , wherein the mounting bracket is rotatably coupled to the ground stake. 10. The landscape light of claim 1 , wherein the second compartment includes vents. 11. The landscape light of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pattern generator includes a plurality of pattern generators and the landscape light further comprises a switch configured to select between the plurality of the pattern generators. 12. The landscape light of claim 1 , wherein the pattern generation assembly is disposed in the first compartment of the housing. 13. The landscape light of claim 1 , wherein the heatsink is in thermal communication with the at least one light source.
