Abstract
An illumination device illuminates a tap handle and an area proximate to a tap outlet. The device illuminates a stream of fluid flowing from the tap outlet and the receptacle into which the fluid flows when the tap handle opens the tap to release the fluid. The tap handle actuates a tilt switch adjacent to the tap handle. The device illuminates the tap handle when there is no fluid flow. Light from lamps contained within the device is communicated to the tap outlet and tap handle by separate fiber optic lines. Light from the lamps is colored by a continuously rotating color wheel for aesthetic effects. The device includes a capacitor for generating a time delay to prevent false control signals from being relayed to the lamps.
