ABSTRACT:
A device10for illuminating luminescent paintballs before the paintballs are projected down the barrel of a paintball gun includes a conduit12configured to form a forty-five degree angle to promote the arranging of luminescent paintballs into a single row as the paintballs “fall” from an enclosure and into the conduit12to ultimately exit the conduit12and drop into a discharge mechanism, a plurality of ultraviolet lamps14that are positioned about an inner portion of the conduit12to illuminate the luminescent paintballs thereby urging the paintballs to “glow” in the dark, a “horseshoe” configured bracket16that disposes the lamps14at preselected portions of the conduit12that maximizes the exposure of the paintballs to ultraviolet light from the lamps14, a low voltage D.C. battery18and on-off switch20attached to an outer portion of the conduit12, and an inverter22also attached to an outer portion of the conduit12adjacent to the battery18, the battery18, on-off switch20and inverter22cooperating to provide a stepped up R.M.S. voltage to the lamps14.A hoper device50for illuminating luminescent paintballs before the paintballs are projected down the barrel of a paintball gun includes a hopper shell52, top and bottom rows54and56of ultraviolet lights 14 disposed at preselected portions of the shell52to maximize the exposure of the paintballs11to ultraviolet light emitted from the lights14, a pair of low voltage D.C. batteries58that supply power via a switch60to an inverter62which increases the voltage to a magnitude used by the lights14.
