A light adapted to be attached to an article of clothing, comprising:
- a power supply casing adapted to hold at least one of a battery and a connector adapted to interface with an external battery, providing electrical connections thereto;
- an illuminator casing, having therein an illuminator adapted to emit a beam of light when electrically powered;
- an electrical switch, adapted to selectively interrupt power from said power supply casing to said illuminator;
- said power supply casing and said illuminator casing being attachable and detachable, a clamping force between said power supply casing and said illuminator casing being generated to retain the article of clothing therebetween,
- an electrical connector mechanism, automatically providing an electric circuit between said power supply casing and said illuminator casing.
A method of providing illumination from an article of clothing, comprising:
- providing a power supply casing adapted to hold at least one of a battery and a connector adapted to interface with an external battery, providing electrical connections thereto, an illuminator casing, having therein an illuminator adapted to emit a beam of light when electrically powered, and an electrical switch, adapted to selectively interrupt power from said power supply casing to the illuminator;
- attaching the power supply casing to the illuminator casing, to provide a clamping force between the power supply casing and the illuminator casing through an article of clothing so as to retain the article of clothing therebetween, and automatically providing an electric circuit between the power supply casing and the illuminator casing;
- and
- detaching the power supply casing to the illuminator casing by mechanically disengaging the at least one extension.
