My Mom was always searching around in her dark purse and, she was always frustrated by not being able to see what she was looking for. A purse light would have been exactly what she needed.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree on this issue.

I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to find something in my purse – by feel. In the dark. At night. It’s not an easy task. It sure would have been nice if I had a purse light to help me in my endeavor.

Searching around in a dark purse can be downright nerve-wracking if you happen to get stopped by a police officer and need to find your license. You know what I’m saying. Sweaty palms, brainless, non-functioning anxiety. Sure he’s waiting patiently but even if you know exactly where your license is by day – by night, it’s a total mystery.

If I were being totally honest, I would confess that I even spend countless minutes looking for stuff in my purse by daylight. I can’t be the only one with this issue, and I carry a relatively normal sized purse.

Think how much worse it is for elderly ladies who often carry big handbags to accommodate prescriptions, lipsticks, eyeglass cases, and other items that inconveniently end up in the bottom of the bag.

I’ve often thought a lighted purse would be a great option.

But alas, I didn’t get to the invention in time. Although I’m unsure if there’s a purse made with a built in light, there are purse lights that are motion detector operational. That means no fumbling for buttons to turn the light on.

Attachable purse lights with motion detection are a wonderful option for the elderly who still want to get out and about in the evening or even those who have visual decline. The light stays off while in the handbag and is activated by the motion of a hand, leaving two hands free to dig around the contents of the handbag.

Purse illumination products make a great gift for an elderly loved one or friend. Knowing she has light when she needs it can provide peace of mind for you and for her.

Motion-Activated Purse Lights

Motion-activated purse lights are, imho, one of the best inventions ever. They turn on when the purse light detects motion and turns off shortly thereafter. This leaves both hands available to look for the elusive item stuffed in a corner of that dark purse.
