1. In an illumination kit for installation of discrete light sources in a flying disc, a kit component comprising:

  • a transparent membrane of insulating material having a central base and a plurality of arms extending radially outward from the base;

    a plurality of discrete, electrically powered light sources each mounted on a distal portion of a respective membrane arm;

    a set of conductive strips secured to the underside of the membrane, a pair of the strips extending from the base to a radially distal portion of each respective arm where the strips are connected to a respective one of the light sources, two of the conductive strips having termination portions positioned under the base of the membrane;

    power source retaining means attached to the topside of the membrane base to house a power source and provide electrical connections between the power source and the termination portions of the conductive strips;

    a layer of double-faced adhesive tape secured to the underside of the base, the conductive strips and the portion of each arm radially adjacent the base, the tape having radially distal portions that are separated from radially distal portions of the arms;

    a segmented liner releasably attached to the underside of the tape; and

    liner strips releasably attached to the topside of the radially distal portions of the tape opposite the membrane, these liner strips each including means opposite a respective light source on the distal portion of a respective membrane arm for indicating the position of the respective light source, so that a hole can be punched in the disc at the indicated position, the liner strip removed, and the light source secured in position within the hole.
