Abstract
A three-part “C” shaped disc of plastic that is placed on a client's shoulders. Several small light bulbs or light emitting diodes (LEDS) are positioned around the apex of the C-shaped disk. The lights are mounted in the disc at a 45-degree angle facing the head to illuminate the lower portions of the head. The lights are mounted in two rows, and are spaced at a distance of a quarter inch apart. This ensures the maximum level of illumination. The top cover can be removed so the LED's can be changed if a light burns out. The power is supplied by an AC outlet and converted to 12 volt DC. The device also has two wing lights that are used to illuminate the sides of the head.
