Abstract: A lighting device for use on apparel includes a main body portion and a raised graphic portion at the front of the main body. Inside the device there is a graphic element in the raised portion that is translucent. Behind the graphic element and inside the main body of the device there is one or more lighting elements, a control circuit, and a battery. There is a power connector at a side of the main body, or in a remote connector, to charge the battery, and one or more switches either at the side of the main body or on the remote connector to allow a person to control the lighting operation of the device.

Abstract: A lighting system for a hat includes a front housing containing lighting elements that mates with a back plate positioned on the inside of the hat. Driver circuitry controls operation of the LEDs for various lighting modes, and a cover for the front housing is translucent and designed in the shape of a recognizable logo or other design. Electric power comes from a battery located on the back plate, and is provided through the hate using prongs or projections that pass through the hat, from the back plate to a circuit connector in the front housing. The circuit connector is electrically coupled to circuitry on a circuit board in the front housing.
