Abstract: A headset for illuminating retroreflective items is disclosed herein. The headset is comprised of glasses, goggles, or other head-mounted assembly with light arrays mounted thereon. The lighting from the light arrays can be directed at a surface which illuminates when a light is directed at it, such as a retroreflective material. The present disclosure may advantageously be used with balls, articles of clothing, masks, paint, and numerous other items that may be covered, all or partially, with a retroreflective coating or layer, to create a unique user experience, particularly when the headset and retroreflective items are used in combination under low light or no light conditions.
