Illuminated Shovel Assembly
An illuminated shovel assembly, configured to protect a user while shoveling during snowy and/or low light conditions, including: an elongated shaft, wherein the elongated shaft includes a length, a first proximal end, and a second distal end; a handle sub-assembly, wherein the handle sub-assembly is secured to or forms part of the first proximal end of the elongated shaft; a blade implement, wherein the blade implement is secured to or forms part of the second distal end of the elongated shaft; and a light sub-assembly, wherein the light sub-assembly comprises an energy source, a switch, and one or more light sources. Preferably, the light sources emit stroboscopic light substantially orthogonally to and away from the length of the elongated shaft to, in turn, alert third parties of the presence of the user and the shovel assembly. In addition, the illuminated shovel assembly preferably includes an accelerometer that provides auto-on and/or auto-off functionality to the light source.
