  • Publication number: 20180250840
    Abstract: The illuminated haircutting shears includes a pair of cutting blades, a light source, a light strip, and an energy source in communication with the light source. A microcontroller and an accelerometer positioned in communicating relation with the microcontroller may also be provided. In use, the accelerometer generates acceleration signals which are communicated to the light strip via the microcontroller. In response, a respective color of light illuminates to indicate the position of the shears, e.g., 0° (e.g. horizontal), 45° (e.g. diagonal), or 90° (e.g. vertical).
