Along one end of the holder is placed a fluorescent like material allowing the holder to glow in the dark. Electrical circuitry is provided which is made operational upon the holder being moved or whenever a television is started up by receipt of a predetermined electromagnetic field radiated from the horizontal deflection coils of the cathode-ray tube. A movable light source is provided for rotation over a key pad of a secured remote controller for illumination in low level lighting.
