Claims20
A hand wand comprising:
- a wand housing defining a housing cavity comprising:
- a handle portion;
- and
- a rectangular core portion having a front side, a left side, a right side, and a back side, wherein each of the front side, left side, right side and back side further comprise a surface of reflective material;
- a wand core mounted within the housing cavity of the rectangular core portion of the wand housing comprising:
- a plurality of front LEDs mounted upon a vertical front PCB facing the front side of the rectangular core portion;
- and
- a wand core base retained within the housing cavity of the rectangular core portion of the wand housing and coupled to the front PCB, thereby restraining movement in the horizontal plane;
- and
- a circular opening in the surface of reflective material located adjacent to each LED in the plurality of front LEDs.

- and
- a wand core base connected to the front PCB, the left PCB and the right PCB, thereby restraining movement of the front PCB, the left PCB and the right PCB in the horizontal direction;
- a switch assembly comprising:
- a switch mounted on and closing the handle portion at the bottom opening and wherein the switch is actuatable between at least two preprogrammed illumination schemes;
- a switch connector extending from an electrical connection with the switch and connected to a PCB switch connector receptacle;
- and
- a power source electrically coupled to the switch;
- a front reflective strip coupled to an exterior surface of the front side of the core portion and having a circular opening located adjacent each LED in the plurality of front LEDs;
- a left reflective strip coupled to an exterior surface of the left side of the core portion and having a circular opening located adjacent each LED in the plurality of left LEDs;
- a right reflective strip coupled to an exterior surface of the right side of the core portion and having a circular opening located adjacent each LED in the plurality of right LEDs;
- and
- a back reflective strip coupled to and exterior surface of the back side of the rectangular core portion.
