How to activate light strike vest

At the heart of all this is the urge to run around shooting each other, just like you did in the 90s. A quick go at a toy event in London, and they are great fun. That intelligent targeting system involves you blasting it a number of times to turn it to your team, at which point it will then help you take out the enemy when they come charging around the corner.

Add that to the colour designs and we can see kids of all ages really having fun with this when the toys come out later in the year. Learn more Home Parenting Parenting news.

Why you can trust Pocket-lint. Writing by Stuart Miles. The lights can be customized with any department name. Check out the video and pick back up for some additional details I obtained from Lovett. Setting aside my petty jealousy that someone else invented and brought to market my idea, I connected recently with Joseph Lovett of GammaBrite to learn a little more about the product and its underlying technology.

Our lights are flat, thin, flexible, and energy efficient. There is no heat created. GammaBrite lights have no catastrophic failure Based on the way we construct the lights, you can shoot it, poke holes in it, stab at it, and it continues to work!

Given their collective backgrounds, and the unique capabilities of their technology, it made sense that the company focuses its efforts on safety products with an emphasis on the public safety market.

This is why LEDs are not a viable option for wearable light — as small as they are, they are still too rigid, too hot and cannot be made washable while remaining flexible. GammaBrite partnered with another company to use their washable, crushable, next-generation lamps for use in safety vests. But by placing the light in the clothing itself, the folks at GammaBrite have made the wearer into the source of light, not the reflection. But we have to recall we are civil servants.

People need to locate easily us when they need us — specifically in large crowd situations. The first level of force taught is often a professional officer presence. When working crowd control at crosswalks in a major city, a riot, large event, it is not a tactical setting and proper identification is crucial. These next-generation electroluminescent lights have a urethane coating that makes the vests washable.

The laminate has an industrial, heat press—activated adhesive that requires no sewing. GammaBrite has begun to ship prototype vests to a small number of agencies for testing and evaluation, and the company is in talks with some agencies about the purchase process.

Lovett told me that once they go into production, they plan to have manufacturing done strictly in the USA. For more information, visit the GammaBrite website.
