Abstract

A light apparatus that includes a light assembly having a control module to control an operating mode of light sources in a light array, including control a sequence of light and an intensity of light emitted from each light source in the array. A housing assembly for the light assembly includes an inner housing having a first material layer defining a first faceted member to receive the light assembly and permit emission of light from the light sources therethrough, and an outer housing having a second material layer defining a second faceted member to receive the inner housing to refract and project the light emitted through the inner housing in a predetermined or random direction and predetermined or random pattern. The predetermined or random pattern includes a patterned shadow formed from an internal refraction of light in different directions as light passes through the second material layer, thereby creating a visual appearance of dynamic movement of the predetermined or random pattern relative to a surface to be illuminated or an area in three-dimensional space to be illuminated.
