news:lite tv is reporting that James Halliburton originally pitched his water-buoy idea – an auto-inflating, strengthened and illuminated balloon that would be attached to items which could be accidentally dropped in water.
But he found success after he saw children playing with his invention and adapted the idea into the ‘Illoom balloon’ essentially a ballon with an LED inside. Once turned on the balloon is illuminated for 15 minutes.
Halliburton is now celebrating – after selling five million of his light up balloons.
