  • Publication number: 20030161143
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is my invention of a flexible and portable source of illumination, typically used to illuminate the interior surfaces and contents of a container, such as a purse and its contents. The device consists of a battery and case, a switch, an attachment clip and a clear, flexible tube that contains several small lights connected to each other as well as to the battery and switch. The length of lights can be flexibly arranged within the container so as to increase the level of ambient light throughout the entire interior volume of the container. The design presents an invention that is a standalone unit, not dependent on a container's shape, size or specific design. The invention can easily be removed from one container and positioned within another, allowing use of presently owned purses, for example.
