Korean industrial designer Hyun su Jang is the creator behind the 'Life Arrow' -- a pair of LED lights that assist with putting out and escaping from building fires.
The Life Arrow is offered in two different colors, with the red working as a stand to hold a fire extinguisher and the green directing the building's occupants to the nearest safe exit. The luminescent devices are bright and large enough to be seen through thick smoke -- making them extremely helpful companions in case of an emergency.
The Life Arrow comes equipped with non-slip grips that keep it stable in order to ensure it points in the right direction, while its extinguisher slot works to make the device easy to access. The directive lights have a detachable flashlight installed as well, giving building escapees a source of light to guide them once the Life Arrow points them in the correct direction.
