Abstract: A new and improved illuminated blade, ceiling fan apparatus includes a circular planar electrical contact assembly which includes a first circular planar conductor and a second circular planar conductor spaced from the first planar conductor such that the first planar conductor and the second planar conductor are not in electrical contact with each other. A brush contact assembly includes brushes for providing sliding electrical contact with the first planar conductor and the second planar conductor when there is relative rotation between the circular planar electrical contact assembly and the brush contact assembly. Respective sources of illumination, e. g. neon lamps, supported by the fan blade assemblies are in circuit with the circular planar electrical contact assembly and the brush contact assembly, such that the sources of illumination are energized when the brush contact assembly is in electrical contact with the first circular planar conductor and the second circular planar conductor.
