Illuminated ball

An illuminated ball for use in a water environment comprising:

• an outer shell;
• a translucent housing forming an air tight coupling with said outer shell;
• a self closing valve coupled to said outer shell;
• a battery housing forming a water tight coupling with said translucent housing;
• at least one battery in said battery housing;
• a light emitting device being electrically coupled to said battery housing;
• a water triggered switch being electrically coupled to said battery housing;
• and
• wherein on exposure to water, said water triggered switch, said light emitting device and said at least one battery form an electrical circuit.

An illuminated ball comprising:

• a shell;
• a neck, wherein said neck forms an opening into the interior of said shell;
• a housing coupled to said neck, wherein an adhesion contour is coupled to said housing and abuts an indentation in said neck;
• wherein said housing, said neck and said shell form an air tight chamber;
• a light emitting device coupled inside said housing;
• said light emitting device comprising a first circuit board and a light emitting diode;
• a battery housing coupled to said light emitting device;
• a power source coupled to said battery housing;
• a water triggered switch coupled to said battery housing;
• said water triggered switch comprising a second circuit board and at least two water contacts;
• and
• wherein said at least two water contacts, said power source and said light emitting diode comprise a circuit on exposure of said at least two water contacts to water.
