ABSTRACT:
The apparatus is made up of a battery pack, two two-wire conductors, a plurality of light emitting diodes, a plurality of clips and a terminal board. The battery pack is made up of (1) a battery holder, including conductors to connect the batteries in series and deliver power to two terminals on the end of the holder, (2) a heat shrunk tube enclosing the connections of the two wires in each conductor to resistors which limit the power delivered to the diodes and connections of the resistors to two conductors connected to the terminals on the terminal board. Some of the plurality of LED's are attached at points along one two-wire conductor to the wires in the conductor; the remainder is similarly attached to the other two-wire conductor. There is a Velcro (T.M.) fitted strap attached to the holder and used to fasten the pack to kite structure. An elastromeric tube is also attached to the holder to provide friction to keep the battery pack from inadvertently sliding on the structure to which it is strapped. Each clip is detachably attached to an LED and holds the LED and adjacent conductor to kite structure. Power to the LED' s is switched on and off by connecting and disconnecting the terminals on the terminal board to those on the holder.
