The LED can be provided inside a pouch containing chemicals which, when mixed together, produce a glowing light. Multiple pouches can be provided in strip form as well as in individual form with varying shapes and sizes. Surfaces coated with light-activated photochemicals can be illuminated with one or more LEDs thereby causing such surfaces to produce a chemical glow for extended periods of time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lighting assembly, comprising: a first light comprising a chemical composition which produces a glow; and a second light comprising a battery-powered LED arranged to produce project light onto said chemical composition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The light assembly of claim 1, wherein said chemical composition comprises at least two chemicals which when mixed together produce said glow. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The light assembly of claim 2, wherein said at least two chemicals are separated apart prior to producing said glow. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The light assembly of claim 3, wherein a first one of said chemicals is encased in a light transmitting pouch. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The light assembly of claim 4, wherein a second one of said chemicals is encased in a packet designed to be ruptured within said pouch. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The light assembly of claim 5, wherein said first and second chemicals and said second light are encased in said pouch. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The light assembly of claim 6, wherein said second light is sealed within a clear plastic cover provided in said pouch. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The light assembly of claim 7, further comprising an adhesive layer provided on said pouch. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The light assembly of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of said first and second lights arranged in a strip. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The light assembly of claim 1, wherein said first light comprises a coating provided on a first surface and comprising chemicals producing a glow when receiving light from said second light. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The light assembly of claim 1, further comprising an on-off switch controlling battery power to said LED. ### Claim 12 A light assembly, comprising: a light transmitting pouch; a first light source comprising a first chemical provided in said pouch, a second chemical provided in said pouch and separated from said first chemical, and wherein manual mixing of said first and second chemicals produces a glowing light through said pouch; a light transmitting cover provided in said pouch; and a second light source provided in said light transmitting cover and comprising a support platform supporting a battery, a switch, a second light and control circuitry controlling said second light wherein said light transmitting pouch seals said first and second light source from ambient conditions. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The light assembly of claim 12, wherein said switch comprises an on-off switch turning said second light on and off and operated by manually depressing said pouch over said on-off switch. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The light assembly of claim 12, wherein said support platform comprises a circuit board and said battery comprises a rechargeable battery supported by said circuit board. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The light assembly of claim 14, further comprising a solar powered battery charger providing voltage to said rechargeable battery. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The lighting assembly of claim 15, further comprising a light-actuated switch controlling operation of said second light. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The light assembly of claim 12, wherein said control circuitry selectively powers said second light in a strobed operating mode. ### Claim 18 A method of increasing the amount of light emitted from a chemically produced glow light actuated by mixing a first chemical with a second chemical and wherein said method comprises: providing a battery-powered light adjacent said glow light and directing light from said battery powered light through said first and second chemicals. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, further comprising encapsulating said glow light and said battery powered light in a common pouch and activating said glow light by applying manual force to said pouch. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, further comprising activating said battery powered light by pressing on said pouch.
