The present disclosure includes an electrosurgical instrument which further includes a housing having distal and proximal ends. The electrosurgical instrument also includes a light-emitting diode adapter having distal and proximal ends configured to selectively engage the distal end of the housing. The light-emitting diode adapter also includes at least one light-emitting diode disposed therein. The light-emitting diode is adapted to connect to an electrosurgical energy source and being selectively activatable to emit light from the adapter. The at least one electrode is configured to selectively engage the distal end of the light-emitting diode adapter and adapted to connect to the electrosurgical energy source.
