The LightCycle poster is a promotional tool made with a one meter strip of LED lights. The result is this [sustainable light source](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern) that can be used throughout towns and cities to not only share information, but also [illuminate the streets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-pro).

The LightCycle poster uses an [LED grid system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ilo-lamp) that was “hand screen-printed in black over a flouro blend” to create the colorful mix of typography and design.
