The first housing can encompass a first tact switch. The second housing can be attached to and be continuous with the first housing. The second housing can encompass a second tact switch, a battery and one or more light emitting diodes. The first tact switch can be electrically connected to the battery and the one or more light emitting diodes. The second tact switch can be electrically connected to the battery and the one or more light emitting diodes. The battery can be further connected to the one or more light emitting diodes. Each of the first tact switch and the second tact switch can be activated upon being pressurized by an external force upon a portion of the first housing or the second housing, respectively, to activate the one or more light emitting diodes. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device comprising: a first housing, the first housing encompassing a first tact switch; and a second housing attached to and continuous with the first housing, the second housing encompassing a second tact switch, a battery, and one or more light emitting diodes, the first tact switch electrically connected to the battery and the one or more light emitting diodes, the second tact switch electrically connected to the battery and the one or more light emitting diodes, the battery further connected to the one or more light emitting diodes, each of the first tact switch and the second tact switch configured to be activated upon being pressurized by an external force upon a portion of the first housing or the second housing, respectively, to activate the one or more light emitting diodes. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the each of the first tact switch and the second tact switch are configured to be deactivated upon being pressurized by at least one external force upon the portion of the first housing or the second housing, respectively, the deactivated tact switch deactivating the one or more light emitting diodes. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first tact switch is configured to be activated or deactivated by force applied by mandibles of a user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first housing is encompassed with a replaceable sleeve. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first housing and replaceable sleeve mate via a ridge on the first housing and a groove on the replaceable sleeve. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first housing and replaceable sleeve mate via a groove on the first housing and a ridge on the replaceable sleeve. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The device of claim 4, wherein the first housing is made of plastic. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first housing is a replaceable sleeve. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The device of claim 8, wherein the first housing is made of rubber. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the second tact switch is configured to be activated or deactivated by force applied by one or more fingers of a user. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the second housing is made of plastic. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the second housing is water-proof. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the first housing is water-proof. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein a combination of the second housing and the first housing comprise two separate halves along a length of the light device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The device of claim 14, wherein the two halves are combined via screws and grooves. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein a combination of the second housing and the first housing has a length of two inches. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the second housing has a width of 0.75 inches. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein a combination of the second housing and the first housing is incorporated within a mask configured to be worn by a user. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more light emitting diodes includes a plurality of light emitting diodes, the plurality of the light emitting diodes being placed at a plurality of locations within a combination of the second housing and the first housing. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of locations comprises two ends along a length of a combination of the second housing and the first housing.
