Abstract
1. A utility device that can be worn in the same manner as gloves simultaneously on both hands consisting of a power supply that sends an alternating current to an iridescent LED series of 5 mm lights connected to a battery power source.
2. The battery power source has been designed for the optional use of 3 volt lithium, 1.5 volts MA (LR03) Alcaline, 1.5 volt AA (LR05) Alcaline and 9 volt Alcaline.
3. There is a voltage control circuit that connects from the LED series to a controller and switch that cycle through each LED light each time the switch is pushed. The switch moves the completed current one LED per push.
4. A power supply for powering the series of LED lights each displaying a different color along the module'"'"'s circuit to convey a separate visual communication for each color. The power supply has one or more loads which includes a resistor and power factor correction to provide the necessary operating voltage from a variable electrical power source. The power supply further includes a control circuit which is operated by both a toggle switch and a push button switch to drive the electrical current through each LED along the series of lights. Between each LED is a capacitor, diode and relay to move the current from one LED to the next LED until the current reaches the laser light. This is made possible by the storage of energy in the capacitors until required and accessed by pushing either the toggle switch or the push button switch to activate the LED series. The current can then be cycled through the series of LED lights again. Each LED light is connected by a stranded 14/3 12 gauge wire. The series of LED lights have a single pole double throw switch, mini relay, circuit breaker, controller and a push button switch and toggle switch for manual operation.
