Abstract: A glove apparatus including a glove member having an outer surface covering material, such as a pliable plastic, treated with an illuminative substance having phosphorescence, fluorescent, or both, illuminative properties. The glove apparatus includes a light circuit system integrally packaged with the glove member. The light may be selectively energized and may be directionally controlled by the user of the apparatus to illuminate an object. The light is contained within a ring-like light housing member which is preferably mounted on a finger section of the glove member. As a child glove toy item, the outer glove surface covering material is decorated to ornately represent a fictional cartoon hero character. Variations of the apparatus include a light filter adapted with a screen shaped in the form of the cartoon character to effect projecting an image of the cartoon character upon a child energizing the light circuit system.
