Nocturnal Light-Alerting Gloves

LED Bike Lights are Infused into Gloves for Added Safety

— April 29, 2013 — Tech
Traversing the roads at night can be dangerous, but it’s particularly dangerous for bike enthusiasts who ride their self-propelled motors on the streets, making the usage of LED bike lights a common prerequisite for bike users.

The Japan-based company of DOPPELGANGER has created a convenient and stylish way for bikers to roam the streets at night with its LED hand gloves. Normally, bikers would either have a flickering light at the back of their bikes to notify car drivers of their presence, or use hand signals to tell them about their impending direction. With the light-infused hand gloves, bikers will no longer have to worry about those issues.

The gloves are embedded with a thumb trigger to flash the LED lights. With this convenience, bikers will be a lot safer on the roads -- the LED gloves could also be used for wild rave parties, if you're more interested in parties than biking.
Trend Themes
1. Nighttime Safety Gear - Opportunity for companies to develop innovative products that enhance visibility and ensure safety for individuals navigating dark environments.
2. Integration of Technology and Fashion - Potential for fashion brands to incorporate functional technology into their designs to create products that are both stylish and useful.
3. Multi-purpose Accessories - Demand for versatile products that can be used in various contexts, such as the LED gloves that can be worn for biking or at wild rave parties.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Sports and Recreation - Opportunity for companies in the outdoor sports and recreation industry to develop innovative safety gear that enhances the night-time visibility of sports enthusiasts.
2. Fashion and Apparel - Fashion brands can explore the integration of technology into their designs, creating fashionable and functional accessories like LED-infused gloves.
3. Event and Entertainment - Event planners and entertainment organizers can consider offering unique experiences by incorporating multi-purpose accessories like LED gloves into their events.
