Abstract: A light assembly designed to be mounted within and illuminate an interior portion of a purse, pocketbook or like structure including a casing having a substantially hollow interior, the boundaries of which are defined by a surrounding, exterior wall at least partially formed from a transparent or light transmitting portion. A circuit assembly including an illumination source, a power source and a switch assembly is mounted, at least partially, within the interior of the casing such that the illumination source is aligned with the light transmitting portion so as to generate light from the casing into interior portions of the purse for illumination thereof. A mounting structure is secured, at least in part, to the exterior wall and, dependent upon the specific structural embodiment thereof the casing may be permanently or removably connected to any one of a variety of different positions within the interior of the purse.
