ILLUMINABLE RECEPTACLES

摘要

An illuminable receptacle may generally include a container with a handle for carrying candy or other objects, as well as at least one light source secured to a sidewall of the container. The light source may be configured to emit light primarily downwards and inwards for purposes of illuminating an inside cavity and a base of the container, and/or candy or other objects supported by the base of the container. To enhance the illumination, the light source may be located closer to an upper end of the container than a lower end of the container. Further, the light source may be substantially flush with an inner face of the sidewall so as not to obstruct access to the inside cavity of the container. Finally, the light source may be powered by a power source, which can be controlled by a power switch.
