Better than traditional reflections?

London cyclists will test it soon. A special spray - invisible during the day and at night reflects light.

How it's working? As the producer assures, just before spraying on the bike, spray the helmet, jacket, and bike with spray. A layer invisible during the day is deposited on painted objects. In the evening, objects illuminated by the light of the car headlights will shine brightly.

When you get home, you need to wash your clothes, although it is not necessary, because the paint is invisible during the day. The spray stays on the objects for about a week.

200 LifePaint spray cans will be distributed to London bikers by Volvo Cars UK and the Swedish manufacturer of reflective varnishes, Albedo 100.

The manufacturer ensures that the reflective spray can be used even on prams. A variant was also developed that can be applied to animal fur. This solution has a big advantage over traditional reflective fabrics sewn into clothes or put on in the form of reflective vests, bands because it makes everything can become a reflection in a few seconds.

How much is it? For one can of innovative spray you have to pay - depending on the type - from 70 to 95 PLN. London cyclists will get them for free.

"Driving a car is a complex and demanding task. In low-light conditions it becomes even more difficult, especially in cities where roads are shared with cyclists and pedestrians are walking on them," says Adrian Walsh, director of Road Safe, a British forum promoting road safety. This innovative technology will certainly help make these places safer and it's very uplifting that the carmaker is trying to reach cyclists and pedestrians so that they are less likely to be injured.
