Patent Number: 7759569 
Title: Crash N Flash Lighting System 
Abstract: A lighting system that is controlled and operated by the cymbal player of a musical band is disclosed. A limiting switch actuator arm is mounted in a predetermined proximity to the underside of the cymbals such that striking the cymbal moves the actuator arm a sufficient distance to momentarily close an electrical circuit to which a light is connected and produce the flash-lighting effect. The actuator arm is encased in a plastic sleeve and has a sleeve tip and a bead attached at the cymbal contact end. The plastic sleeve, sleeve tip and bead protect against the risk of an electric shock, help protect the actuating arm against mechanical damage and help dissipate vibrations.
