Abstract

A device capable of flashing upon movement of the device comprising at least one light emitting diode having a first preformed conductor connected to a cathode of the diode and a second preformed conductor connected to an anode of the diode; a first arrangement to provide a power source having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, the negative terminal being connected to the first conductor; a normally open contact lever coupled to the positive terminal capable of closing a connection to the second conductor resulting in light being emitted from the diode; and a second arrangement associated with the lever responsive to movement of the device to cause intermittent closing of the connection to the second conductor resulting in the diode flashing.
