Abstract: An environmentally friendly illuminating device produces a brilliant light for signaling, directing traffic, illuminating an area, or drawing attention to an event. The device includes a shock resistant and water proof tube that enables passage of both steady and alternating light patterns from a flexible strip of light emitting diodes (LED). By utilizing a battery powered LED, spontaneous chemical reactions are not necessitated for generating the illumination. For example, toxins, smoke, fire, and excessive heat are not emitted. An opaque, flexible tube bends to facilitate stowage. An LED strip provides about 360 lumens of illumination. A reflector cap partially scatters the light. A distal cap and a proximal cap form water tight seals over the ends of the tube. An outer grip is foam to provide good control. A battery housing is watertight to protect the battery power source. A control portion controls power and alternates between lighting patterns.
