In life-threatening situations, people shouldn't be looking around aimlessly for objects that will help save themselves and others, thus the Life Light makes one thing easier to spot. A contemporary take on the traditional lifebuoy pole, the Life Light illuminates both during the day and night to make it easy to spot when needed the most.
Designed by Tso Chu-Hao, Hsiang Hao-Tien and Chuang Tsung-Hua, the Life Light was recently crowned a 2012 iF Design Talents winner. Simple and ingenious, it is equipped with a renewable energy sources to keep the LEDs working at night as well as LED water battery. Although the Life Light features a rather basic tweak, it is efficient and practical enough to make a huge difference.
