If you like and enduring Runs, and often gets into the darkness, knows the importance of reflective clothing is to be always seen by motorists. To even be able to read the way to the feet and to avoid falls, there are, among others, head lamps that light the way. The team of Night Runner, however, has now developed a thoroughly practical lighting for running shoes.
LED module can infect shoe flap
Powerful LEDs are attached to the modified running shoes that enable a beam length of up to 30 meters and a radius of 270 degrees. With the shoes you cannot just enough to illuminate the upcoming path, but are also more visible to drivers and bikers. A red LED light and reflective tape sets the shoes visually from sideways. These can be recharged via micro USB cable. The shelf life of a battery charge should be between four and eight hours. It depends on how light setting the LEDs.
Doug Store and Renate have developed the shining shoes. The idea came to Doug after he fell during training for the New York Marathon in a hole and injured there. About Kick starter, the two inventors want $ 35,000 to collect the running shoe lighting to make mass market compatible. For 50 US dollars you can save them as supporters a few of the Night Runner shoe lights. The first products are to be delivered in September, 2015. In de pitch video you see the shoes, including lighting in action. Pretty cool would be the way to be able to generate the required energy for the lighting itself. Perhaps this suggestion with reflective material is taken into account at the next generation.
