Landscape Light

Abstract

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.

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; and   a heatsink for dissipating heat generated by the light source disposed in the second compartment.   
     
     
         2 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , further comprising a pattern generation assembly including at least one pattern generator secured 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. 
     
     
         3 . The landscape light of  claim 2 , further comprising an articulation assembly configured to articulate the laser light on the surface onto which the laser light is being projected. 
     
     
         4 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , wherein the light source is a light emitting diode. 
     
     
         5 . The landscape light of  claim 4 , wherein the light source includes a plurality of light emitting diodes. 
     
     
         6 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , further comprising a switch to control an operation of the light source. 
     
     
         7 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , further comprising 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. 
     
     
         8 . The landscape light of  claim 7 , wherein a speed of the movement of the pattern assembly is adjustable. 
     
     
         9 . The landscape light of  claim 4 , 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. 
     
     
         10 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , further comprising a wireless controller. 
     
     
         11 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , further comprising a ground stake and a mounting bracket. 
     
     
         12 . The landscape light of  claim 11 , wherein the mounting bracket is rotatably coupled to the ground stake. 
     
     
         13 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , wherein the second compartment includes vents. 
     
     
         14 . The landscape light of  claim 3 , wherein the pattern generation assembly includes a removably mountable slide cartridge. 
     
     
         15 . The landscape light of  claim 14 , wherein the slide cartridge includes the at least one pattern generator. 
     
     
         16 . The landscape light of  claim 15 , 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. 
     
     
         17 . The landscape light of  claim 14 , wherein the slide cartridge is removably mountable in the first compartment of the housing. 
     
     
         18 . The landscape light of  claim 1 , wherein the heatsink is in thermal communication with the at least one light source.
