Abstract: An apparatus that includes at least one article of apparel mountable on the hand of a user. The apparel is repositionable between a first configuration and a second configuration as the user's hand is repositioned between a first shape and a second shape. An electrical power source, a light source and an electrical circuit operably coupled to both the power source and light source are disposed on the apparel. When the apparel is in the first configuration, the light source is energized and when the apparel is in the second configuration, the light source is de-energized. A control circuit may also be provided to control the energizing and de-energizing of the light source responsive to the repositioning of the apparel between its first and second configurations.
