Abstract A lamp is disclosed including a support base supporting a cylinder formed of a plurality of different colored cylindrical sectors, a movable support for an incandescent bulb on the interior of the sectors for positioning the bulb along the length of the cylinder as desired to provide a light effect of desired color with a second embodiment employing arcuate sectors extending along the length of a cylinder and being of different colors with incandescent lamps being provided for rotational positioning behind and in alignment with desired arcuate sectors for providing a desired light effect and in a third embodiment a spherical shell formed of plural different colored sectors is provided enclosing an incandescent bulb with the sectors being adjustable pivotally about the axis of the sphere for providing desired aesthetic light effects.
A lamp of variable intensity and color comprising a pedestal, an external enclosure of transparent material mounted on said pedestal and incorporating differently colored portions comprising a tubular member of transparent material in the form of a series of differently coloured truncal sections; a metal band wound on a suitable winding roller housed internal to the pedestal of the lamp, said band being able to be unwound from or wound on said winding roller; a light source situated internal to the tubular member and connected to one end of the metal band and supported by said band so that said light source can be traversed longitudinally inside said tubular member in relation to the unwinding or winding of the band from or on said winding roller to cause a variation of the colour and intensity of the light emitted by the light source determined by the position of the light source within the external enclosure and by the different colouration of the truncal sections.
