Abstract
Abstract A plurality of lighting devices connected to a power source and a switching lighting circuit connected between the light devices and the battery source. The switching lighting circuit includes a chain switching device which is responsive to motion, such that when the motion light device is attached to any moving object, the making and breaking of the links of the chain switching device will cause the flashing of the lighting device.
