Self-illuminating fabricated solids, e.g., a pavers, driveway stones,
building blocks, or statuary having an assembly, of optical fibers having
second ends contained within a first end of a receptacle, embedded within
the solid object so that the first end of the fibers visually terminate
at the object's surface. The second end of the receptacle is exposed at
the object's surface to reversibly receive and position a reversibly
powered light source in operative contact with the fiber's second ends
guiding light from the source through the fibers to the surface of the
fabricated object providing for self-illuminating seasonal designs,
informational text, or advertising. A plurality of designs in various
colors may exist on a single object. These durable objects have a long
life as surface exposed fibers wear with the surface of the object and
worn-out light sources are easily and rapidly replaced.
