Abstract
An illuminated hook for retrieving fallen items including a telescoping rod having a top end, a crook disposed proximal the top end, a hinge disposed on the top end, a transparent hook having a cavity, the hook disposed on the hinge, and a plurality of illuminable light fixtures disposed within the cavity. Thus, the illuminated hook provides a flexible light source that shines directly through the transparent hook making it possible to illuminate items directly with the hook, allowing for illumination of areas impossible to illuminate without the pivotable transparent hook, greatly improving the retrievability of the illuminated hook for retrieving fallen items.
