Abstract
A handheld implement, such as, for example, a brush, detailer, applicator, or the like, includes a housing and a work element connected to the handle. The implement also includes a light, a power source connected to the light, and a switch for turning on and off the power source for illuminating the light. The work element is concealable in the housing when the implement is not in use, and can be extendable from the housing when the implement is in use. The light, via switching the light on or off, selectively illuminates a surface on which the work element of the implement is employed or operates. The work element is, for example, bristles, and the light is a low power bulb or LED.
