The disclosure provides conspicuity devices and methods. A first embodiment includes a glove with at least one elongate lighting device adapted and configured to admit light having an advantageous spectral energy distribution. Additional articles of clothing are provided herein for enhanced conspicuity, such as for emergency workers and athletes.

A method and system provide accent lighting at a bank of gaming machines. A plurality of LED panels are provided to be assembled in a number of different configurations for a series of LED panels. An electronic controller coupled to communicate through said data communication interface with the series of LED panels. The electronic controller is programmed to transmit signals to LED drivers of the LED panels, receive a loop-back signal transmitted from a final one of the LED panels, based on timing of said received loop-back signal automatically identify a configuration of the series of LED panels from said number of possible configurations, and transmit commands for activating the LED drivers of the LED panels based on the identified configuration.

An illuminating animation device secured within the housing of a bubble producing toy. Animation is created by the illumination of LEDs, which are secured within chambers of the device and project through a film and onto an inside surface of the housing. A printed circuit board is secured within the device and is electrically connected to a microcontroller unit secured within the housing. One mode of activating the illuminating animation device is via the connection of a hat to the housing. The hat includes resisters that close a circuit between the toy and the hat. The microcontroller unit detects and recognizes the value of the resistors and transmits a correlating signal to various electronic components of the toy, which activates features associated with the resistance value.

An illuminated cornhole platform comprising a top portion, at least two side portions, a front portion, a hole portion, at least one leg portion, and a back portion. The cornhole platform is illuminated by an inner illuminating string outlining the hole portion of the cornhole platform. The cornhole platform is further illuminated by an outer illuminating string outlining the outer perimeter of the cornhole platform.

The disclosure relates to a power pack to be used when there is a need for an efficient or portable power source, for example, when the electrical grid is saturated, overused, unreliable or inoperative. The power pack is configured to utilize a renewable energy source, such as solar energy, to charge a rechargeable battery within a battery pack. Said battery pack, through the use of a battery management system, may then provide AC or DC power to an external device that requires electricity, or store power for a later use.

A modular utility tool can include a rigid link element and a flexible strap that is removably securable to the link element. The link element can include a plurality of studs shaped to mate with apertures defined through the flexible strap so that a plurality of constructs can be formed.

A kayak paddle includes a tubular shaft having a first distal end and a second distal end, a first blade connected to the first distal end of the tubular shaft, and a second blade connected to the second distal end of the tubular shaft, wherein the first and second blades are made with a translucent material. The kayak paddle further includes a first light source secured within the tubular shaft and oriented to emit light from the first distal end into the first blade, a second light source secured within the tubular shaft and oriented to emit light from the second distal end into the second blade, and a battery electrically connected to the first and second light sources to supply electrical current that causes the first and second light sources to emit light.
