Abstract: An illuminated wand incorporates a power source and a circuit board with an on-off switch and a plurality of electric light sources spaced along the length of opposite faces of the board within a rigid waterproof translucent cylindrical tube. The inside diameter of the tube is selected to removably encase the power source and the width of the board is substantially equal to the inside diameter of the tube so as to snugly encase the board. A pair of end caps are slidably mounted in substantially watertight condition on each end of the tube. A compressible spring between the power source and one of the caps maintains electrical contact between the components. A sequencer mounted on the board controls intermittent sequential operation of the light sources. The tube and the end caps may be tinted. Each of the caps has a clip connector usable to secure the wand to the object to be illuminated.
