Abstract
An electronic personal care device with a housing defining a sealed cavity. A power source positioned within the sealed cavity of the housing. A first circuit board is positioned within the sealed cavity of the housing. A second circuit board positioned outside the sealed cavity and in electrical connection with the power source. A light guide is mounted to the second circuit board. The light guide having a body defining an opening. A light source is positioned within the opening, spaced apart from the light guide and mounted to the circuit board. A transparent adhesive layer is positioned around the light source and on the second circuit board forming water tight seal.
