Abstract: An illuminator for a hand-held gaming or other electronic device is provided. The illuminator includes at least one light source contained within an enclosure that is rotatably mounted to a bracket. The bracket is rotatably mounted to a member secured to the gaming/electronic device. The bracket and light source enclosure can be rotated into multiple positions during use. During non-use, the bracket and light source enclosure can be rotated into a compact area for ease of transport. A diffuse light source, comprised of the combination of a fluorescent light and a diffuser, minimize ‘hot spots’ on the screen of the gaming/electronic device.

Abstract: An illuminator is provided for use with a hand-held electronic device such as a gaming device. The illuminator includes at least one light attached to one or more brackets which are rotatably secured to the gaming device. When the illumination device is in use, the lights may be moved to various positions, thereby preventing a user's view of a screen from being obstructed and also producing off-axis sources of illumination from various angles. These angles can be changed to minimize glare, to allow the screen to be viewed from various positions or otherwise to suit the needs of the user. The brackets may be moved to positions which conform with the sides of the gaming device. When the brackets are positioned in this manner, they do not increase the overall thickness of the gaming device.
