         11 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the base unit is selectively detachable from the back portion. 
     
     
         12 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the base unit comprises at least one of a rigid material or a flexible material. 
     
     
         13 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the base unit comprises at least one of rubber, plastic or foam. 
     
     
         14 . The glove of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one light source is at least one of a light emitting diode or an incandescent light. 
     
     
         15 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein the outer shell comprises a first finger opening, a second finger opening a third finger opening, a fourth finger opening and a fifth finger opening, wherein the base unit is positioned on the back portion aligned with least one of (i) the first finger opening and the second finger opening, (ii) the fifth finger opening and the fourth finger opening, or (iii) the first finger opening and the fifth finger opening. 
     
     
         16 . The glove of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one light source is configured to emit at least one of a white light to illuminate a dark environment, a red light, or a white light and a red light. 
     
     
         17 . The glove of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one light source includes a plurality of lights of different colors, a switch coupled to the at least one light source, and a power supply including a selector for selecting a color of the light to be emitted by the at least one light source. 
     
     
         18 . The glove of  claim 2 , wherein the base unit further comprises:
