Abstract

An electrical plug incorporates a light beam between the prongs of the plug. The light beam is forwardly directed such that the plug can illuminate a socket where the plug is to be inserted. The plug body includes a circuit board having a light, resistor, battery and switch. A first type of switch that is used includes a push button attached to a spring and contact pads mounted on the circuit board, wherein when the button is pressed the spring electrically connects contact pads within the circuit thus closing the circuit and activating the light. A second type of switch that is used incorporates contact pads and a flexible cover having a pair of electrically conductive leaves hingedly attached to its underside. When an exterior surface above the cover is pressed the leaves move upward and electrically connect contact pads within the circuit thereby closing the circuit and activating the light.
