One end of the strap is attached to a handle having a grip portion and a housing portion with first and second sides. A pair of light sources are positioned on the sides of the housing, and are electrically connected to a power source to illuminate the handle. The pair of light sources are either attached directly to the handle, or to a cover that is attached to the handle. The light sources on the handle or cover are formed in a variety of patterns such as circular, spiral or zig-zag.
