The illuminated glove has an outside layer, an inside liner and a fibre-optic arrangement mounted there between. This fibre-optic arrangement comprises fibre-optic ribbons extending along the fingers of the glove under the outside layer. Portion of these ribbons are visible through openings in the outside layer. A light source is mounted at the base of the thumb. A power source including a battery and a pressure sensitive switch are mounted in the cuff of the glove. A plurality of optical fibres extend loosely over the back-of-the-hand portion and the hand-knuckle region of the glove between the light source and the fibre-optic ribbons. A slack or loose bend is provided in the plurality of optical fibres for reducing hand stiffness and fibre tension when the fingers of the glove are flexed. Preferably, the slack or the loose bend is an offset between and relative to the light source and the fingers.
