Glove Light

The secret behind the magic is a magneticly triggered switch at the base of the
Thumb, which I placed inside a brass tube to protect the thin glass from breaking.
The brass works well because it doesn?t interfere with the magnetic force.
I found a small (3mm) ultrabright LED that fits neatly in the tip of the index finger.
and a small magnet in tip of second finger.
The battery pack is home made out of plastic, screws, two 3 V batteries, contacts, etc.
The light is switched on by pointing with index finger and bring second finger to the base of the thumb.

Connections

Solder wires to reed swithch LED and battery pack. Insilate connectiond with swrink tubing. Sew each component into clothbags or tubes. Open hem of glove.

Sew Components Into Glove. Restich Hem.


Bring Second Finger Containg Magnet to Base of Thumb and LED Will Light.
