          area light emitting portion (44), a light source (48), a power              
          source (36), and a holder or housing (6, 8) having a window                 
          (10) through which light is emitted from said area light                    
          emitting portion.  Note also that Wall discloses a circuit                  
          board (50) having a circuit means "to flash the lights 48 at                
          periodic intervals" (col. 4, lines 40-41), and a closeable                  
          access opening (at 14) which when opened permits removal and                
          replacement of the battery (36).

          distribution system comprising an area light emitting portion               
          (93, 95), a light source (91), a power source (87), and a                   
          holder or housing having a window (73) through which light is               
          emitted from said area light emitting portion.  The ski pole                
          also includes an R-C circuit (90) to allow the light source                 
          (91) to flash at any desired frequency, and it has a closeable              
          access opening (at 83, 85) which when opened permits removal
