Abstract
A stick includes a power source battery; an illuminating light source for illuminating an area close to the feet of a user; a warning light source for giving attention to a third person; a wide angle lens serving as a cover disposed on the front surface of each of the light sources; and a control circuit for supplying a drive signal to each light source by switching thereby opening/closing a feed line from the power source battery. The stick may further include an alarm activated on the basis of the above drive signal. With this stick, it becomes possible to make easy the walking in day or night, to avoid a danger and accident, and to rapidly and positively generate an alarm in the worst case where there happens a danger or accident.
