Abstract
Abstract A novelty-type light device which includes a generally hollow body mounted on a support means and within which is disposed a light source. The hollow body is defined by a plurality of generally planar panels angularly oriented relative to each other. The panels are semireflective, at least semitransparent whereby when the light source is viewed through any one of the panels a reflection of the light source is seen on one or more of the other panels through said one section to provide multiple reflections to give an ''''infinity'''' effect.
