ABSTRACT:
A light module for use with a light source mounted to footwear, includes a battery power supply; a cantilevered coil spring which forms a switch connected between the power supply and the light source and having open and closed states such that the light source emits light at a first illumination intensity when the switch is in the closed state; and a fading control circuit connected to the power supply, the light source and the switch for controlling the supply of power to the light source when the switch changes from the closed to the open state such that the illumination intensity of light from the light source decreases over time to produce a fading effect for a first predetermined period of time, regardless of whether the switch changes back from the open state to the closed state during the first predetermined period of time.
