Abstract: An illuminated dart contains a small battery and a light producing element. The light producing element may consist of a small bulb or a LED. Fiber optics may be received within the hollow transparent or translucent shaft of the dart for illuminating the transparent or translucent tail fins of the dart. The dart includes a switch for turning the light source element on or off. In a second embodiment of the invention, a dart board is provided with electric light bulbs in each sector of the dart board for illuminating that sector when contacts in that sector are activated by a thrown dart.
