Abstract
A lighting device has light stick(s) housed in a hand-held receptacle. The nternal surface areas of the hand-held receptacle are reflective. An opening is formed in the hand-held receptacle such that illumination generated by the light stick(s) is transmitted via the opening. The device can be made entirely of non-magnetic materials for use in clandestine underwater operations. The opening can be sealed with an optically transparent cover. Valves can be included to provide an air-filled or evacuated medium surrounding the light stick(s).
