Lights go out and power outages occur all the time. You weren't prepared none of your flashlights have batteries in them, You have candles, but you don't know where the lighters are, And unfortunately you used all the matches to light those candles for that romantic date you had the other day. You need to get to the fuse box to turn the power back on, but you can't see anything inside of the box because you have no lights. Looks like you could use a handy light.

The point of this invention is to allow the consumer full protection from whatever s/he is working on, but all the while producing light so they can see in cramped or dark area. But still being able to have non-restricted movements of their hands.

DESCRIPTION:
I am creating a glove specifically for this. Messing with electrical fuse boxes in the dark can get you burned. You must always use protection that's why i'm going to install LED lights into a glove. This LED light is powered by one small solar panel and one triple A battery(rechargeable batteries only). The solar panel absorbs the heat from the sun and stores it in the battery which is used during the night to power the LED light. That way you can protect yourself from burns all the while being able to see what you're touching inside of the fuse box. The glove will produce light from the LED's as well as protect your hand from the harmful electrical wires.

MATERIALS: 
2-3 small solar powered lights (can be found at home depot, wal-mart, etc.)
Sauntering iron(can be found at radioshack)
Saunter(also found at radio shack)
Phillips head screwdriver 
wire strippers
wire cutters
flannel glove
patience!

STEP ONE:
