A swing that is illuminated for a child's safety and enjoyment at night time. The illuminated swing is a self contained unit that can attach to any swing set structure. The illuminated swing is comprised of a seat, a means to suspend the seat from a swing set structure, a light source, a power source and a switch. The power source supplies power to the light source and the switch allows the light source to be toggled between the light emitting state and the off state. The light source gives the illuminated swing an illuminated or glowing appearance. In a second embodiment an illuminated swing set includes a swing set structure, a power source, a light source and a switch. Light sources are disposed along the swing set structure and internal to individual swings attached to the swing set structure. The power source supplies power to the light sources and the switch allows the light sources to be toggled between the light emitting state and the off state. The power source includes a battery, so that the illuminated swing set can operate without a connection to an electrical grid. A solar cell recharges the battery, allowing the illuminated swing set to operate for substantial periods of time without battery replacement. An electrical buss is disposed on the swing set structure to distribute power from the power source to light sources disposed away from the power source. The illuminated swing and the illuminated swing set are more enjoyable and safer to use than commonplace swings and swing sets.
