Problems solved by technology

Although people of all ages enjoy a fireworks display, traditional fireworks are not suitable for use by children.

Due to the explosive pyrotechnic nature of, and the inherent danger associated with, traditional fireworks, fireworks may only be purchased by adults and are only suitable for use by adults.

Although children are able to enjoy the explosion of shape, light, and sound created by fireworks as they are lit and propelled into the sky or lit and set in motion on the ground, children are not allowed by law to own or use fireworks.

Additionally, traditional fireworks are illegal for use and / or sale in many states of the United States.

The requisite turning on / off of the device and pressing specific buttons in order to activate short bursts of light and sound in the prior art does not allow the user to fully enjoy the faux-fireworks display as the user is wasting time and energy attempting to press the necessary buttons in order to achieve the desired light and sound of the product's display.

Products currently on the marketplace utilize a limited amount of LED lighting, which results in the toys not being fully illuminated and, thus, not fully mimicking the lighting display of a traditional fireworks display.
