Abstract: The present invention extends to independently programmable lights for use in gloves and to gloves that incorporate such lights. Each independently programmable light of the present invention can include a programmable controller that stores logic for controlling the light such as by changing the color emitted by the light or the on/off pattern of the light. The user of the glove can modify the logic within the programmable controller to customize the functionality of the light. These modifications can be made by connecting the programmable light or a dedicated control unit that connects to each programmable light to another computer system to transfer new or updated logic to a programmable controller for controlling the lights in a custom manner.

Abstract: A device for creating moving light effects has a light source that is configured to pulse a light ON and OFF according to a desired pattern so as to create a moving light effect that is visible when the light source is moved. Some such devices can be programmed to custom-select color sets that are pulsed ON and OFF according to the desired pattern. Other such devices enable the user to custom select one or more patterns. Some devices can control a duty cycle of and LED of the light source by applying an eight bit octet over each duty cycle time in which the LED is pulsed ON or OFF based on a binary “1” or “0” of the octet. A microlight for use in artistic moving light shows such as gloving can employ such moving light effects, and some such microlights can be operated and programmed using a single actuator button.
