Abstract: Embodiments of the Lighted Ladder are comprised of a ladder; a plastic housing; one or more LED strip lighting; a cordless battery mounting means; a battery; a controller housing; a control interface; power wiring; potentiometer wiring; and motion sensor wiring. The ladder is weight-balanced by placement of the battery mounting means, the battery, and controller housing in a low position on the ladder. The battery mounting means is designed to accept a cordless tool battery. The battery mounting means is designed to accept a commercially available battery of at least 12V and at least 3.0 Ah. One plastic housing is located on each of the vertical front rails. Each LED strip lighting can illuminate an angular range of 120 degrees (120°) creating a total illumination range of 300 degrees (300°).
