Manufacturer of powered light safety products Fhoss Safety Wear has launched a brand new range of glow in the dark, LED light products.
The Fhoss Tailbag and Rucksack provide night-time safety for cyclists by way of remote controlled indicator lights which attach to a bike’s handlebars. Riders are then able to indicate left and right, as well as whilst they are braking – allowing other road users to understand cyclists’ movements after dark.
Also launching in the new product range is the Fhoss cord – a LED strip which attaches to helmets giving 360-degree visibility at all times of day and night. With a 100-hour replaceable battery, the cord provides a total of 100,000 hours of LED life throughout the product’s lifetime. With both blink and glow modes, it is lightweight and can be cut to fit the helmet’s size.
Finally, the Fhoss Clip-on Magnet light, which is also powered by a 100-hour replaceable battery. The light, which comes in a range of colours, attaches to jackets, helmets and other accessories.
Founder and CEO of FHOSS Andrew Kimitri commented: “We are really excited to be launching this new range of safety products for the cycling industry, which are perfect for both commuter and leisure cyclists. Our products have been developed over a period of time and we feel that we have come up with a range of products which really address cyclists’ needs on today’s roads. The issue of signalling is tricky for cyclists after dark, but with the remote control technology on our tailbag and rucksack, we feel that we will be making a positive impact on the safety of cyclists on our roads.”
