Abstract
A handle for operating a beverage tap has an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted to it. an electronic control circuit is mounted in the handle and lead wires run out of the handle from said control circuit to a source of electric power. A switch closes when the handle is tilted to activate the control circuit and the control circuit responds by energizing the LEDs and causing them to scintillate in a predetermined sequence.
