ABSTRACT:
An illuminating device with flashing lights may is adjustably affixable to ice skates or in-line skates. The illuminating device may include a number of lamps or light emitting diodes (LEDs) and is controlled by a motion switch or other switch. The lamps or LEDs are visible from the inside of a transparent box which is installed in the hollow between the shoe portion of the skate and the blade or wheels of the skate. The illuminating device is necessarily compact in nature, consisting primarily of flashing lights and a power-and-control circuit that controls and enables the flashing of the lights. The lights may be flashed sequentially, in-phase, randomly, or in other desirable patterns.
