Notably, it is integrated with an [LED flashlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparko) that can illuminate the path ahead of the wearer to create a safe path and show their visibility simultaneously. R obbins is an athlete himself and found that regular mounted lamps are not an elegant form of function. The waste-mounted wearables were often bulky or didn't have lights. As a response to this, Robbins created the Lumabelt that tackled all of the aforementioned issues. It is built by a runner and not a brand and the first prototype integrated a powerful light and measures about 3 inches in height.
