Claim:
1. A motion-activated lighting system for a bag consisting of: a. the bag consisting of an exterior bag surface, an interior bag compartment, a bag opening fluidly connected to the interior bag compartment, and a base; b. a motion detector disposed in the interior bag compartment and positioned immediately adjacent to the bag opening, said motion detector consisting of: c. a light source disposed in the interior bag compartment, the light source providing light inside the bag, wherein the light source is operatively connected in series to the first switch of the motion detector, the light source is disposed below the motion sensor, the light source lines two opposing sides of the bag; d. a solar cell disposed on a portion of the exterior bag surface, wherein the solar cell is positioned on the exterior bag surface such that the solar cell is unobstructed from direct sunlight or ambient light; e. a power source disposed near the base of the bag, wherein the power source is operatively connected to the solar cell, f. a second switch operatively connected in series between the power source and the motion detector, wherein when the second switch is closed, the second switch turns the system on, and when the second switch is opened, the second switch turns the system off; wherein the motion sensor upon detection of movement as it enters from the bag opening, activates the timing circuit and closes the first switch, which turns on the light source, wherein when no motion is detected in the bag, the timer circuit opens the first switch after the delay period expires and the light source is turned off, wherein the motion-activated lighting system provides light inside the bag.
