Abstract
A lighting device for use on roller skates and the like that attaches to the lower portion of a skate and provides a bright colorful light source to make a skater more visible in low light level conditions. The device is a light bar or strip that is battery powered. The light bar is a clear acrylic bar of various preselected colors having a light source at one end. The light is transmitted through the bar producing a light stick of nearly any color. An alternate embodiment uses an electro-luminescent light strip. The light bar or strip and battery power source is quickly and easily attached to any skate by a small strap and screw or by a strap having hook and loop type fasteners.
