A laser lens glow baton is a hand held, dual purpose, visual signaling baton. This device can be used as a flashlight that projects a well-defined beam of light via its laser lens and assembly or as a highly visible luminary that radiates an intense flux of light similar to neon tube. The laser lens glow baton is useful as a visual-signaling device because the colors of the main body and the colors of the projected beam emitted from the laser lens assembly are easily changed. The laser lens glow baton may be easily fabricated in different lengths because of its compartmentalization of the components.

Light emitting gloves provide a source of light under poorly lit or dark conditions to facilitate the completion of tasks. Such gloves are particularly useful when the use of both hands is required, eliminating the possibility of one hand holding a light source such as a flashlight. Light emitting gloves are also of great utility when working in a tight area where there may not be room for a separate light source and the hand performing the task. The person wearing the gloves can be seen more clearly from a distance during periods of low visibility, enhancing safety.
