Abstract: An illuminated device such as a projectile or dart is provided with a battery, one or more light emitting diodes and a switching device wherein switching is accomplished either by relative motion between body and shaft, or by removal and re-insertion of the flite. Conductive elements may be incorporated into the components of the device which may be formed of a conductive material which may be castable or moldable such as plastic, and which may be formed into separate, electrically isolated conductive paths by a molding process.
