Abstract: The present invention provides a lighting unit comprising a diffusion optic fibre, a light emitting diode (LED) coupled to the optic fibre; and an actuator connected to the LED for selectively activating the LED so that light is sent through the optic fibre and provides lighting. The lighting unit is structured and arranged for at least one of path lighting, staircase lighting, outdoor mats, mailbox lighting; curb address lights, driveway lighting, plant lighting, boat dock lighting, exterior house lighting, furniture patios, specialty home products, airplane lighting, motorcycle lighting, boat lighting; and auto lighting. The lighting unit may also be structured and arranged to be combined with at least one of a net, a ball, a glove, an out-of-bounds lighting, a bicycle, a tricycle, a big-wheels, and golf equipment. The fiber may be wound into thread and woven into at least one of clothing, coats, hats, gloves, bracelets, necklaces, running vests, backpacks, strollers, carriages, and pet collars.
