Light Emitting Thermometer System

A light emitting thermometer system comprising:

• a digital thermometer having a rear end, a probe end and a display, said probe end being configured to be placed into contact with a animal thereby facilitating said display to display a temperature of the animal;
• and
• a lighting unit being coupled to said digital thermometer wherein said lighting unit is configured to selectively illuminate the animal when said probe end is placed into contact with the animal, said lighting unit including a light emitter being removably coupled to said lighting unit, said lighting unit comprising:
• a housing having a front end, a back end and an outer wall extending between said front end and said back end, said front end being open, said outer wall being coupled to said digital thermometer having said front end being directed toward said probe end of said digital thermometer, said housing being positioned closer to said rear end than said probe end, said outer wall having an inner surface,
• a contact being positioned within said housing, said contact being positioned closer to said back end than said front end,
• a switch being coupled to said housing wherein said switch is configured to be manipulated, said switch being electrically coupled to said contact,
• a power supply being removably positioned within said housing, said power supply being in electrical communication with said contact when said power supply is positioned in said housing, said power supply comprising at least one battery,
• a cap having a primary end and a secondary end, each of said primary end and said secondary end being open, said secondary end threadably engaging said inner surface of said housing such that said cap is removably coupled to said front end of said housing, said primary end being directed toward said probe end when said cap is removably coupled to said housing,
• a lens being positioned in said primary end such that said lens completely covers said primary end, said lens being comprised of a translucent material, and
• said light emitter being positioned within said cap, said light emitter being positioned behind said lens, said light emitter being in electrical communication with said power supply when said cap is removably coupled to said housing, said switch turning said light emitter on when said switch is manipulated wherein said light emitter is configured to illuminate the animal.
