ABSTRACT:
A hands-free apparatus for illuminating an area surrounding a user's body includes a plurality of flexible tubes having mateable proximal end portions and spaced distal end portions positionable at a predetermined spatial relationship disposed forwardly of the proximal end portions. A power supply source is internally situated within the flexible tubes. A plurality of light-emitting sources are connected to the flexible tubes and electrically coupled to the power supply source respectively. The light-emitting sources each include a switch operably connected to the power supply sources such that a user may independently toggle each light-emitting sources between operating and non-operating modes. The switches are preferably connected to a plurality of housings encasing the light-emitting sources and are positioned distal to a maintaining mechanism medially attached to the flexible tubes.
