Halo is a cordless 360° Personal Safety and Task Light that quickly attaches to any hard hat. Construction workers in low-visibility situations are practically invisible to motorists and equipment operators. The work lights they rely on insufficiently illuminate both workers and their work areas. Halo enables the wearer to See and Be Seen. It is visible over . mile away and floods the task area with light out to the visual periphery. There are four modes: HALO, bright (276 lumens) 360-degrees; HI-ALERT, bright pulse circling; TASK, bright front third of the Halo with dim completing the ring; DIM, dim 360-degrees for working next to someone. Halo is designed to be "light as brand". We reduced the structure around the light to draw focus to the light itself. The housing becomes invisible as you move further from it, leaving only the distinctive halo of light. This new Halo design is cordless, leading to a sleeker design and a better experience for the user.

Halo is simple and intuitive to use:

+ There’s only 1 button; pressing it turns the Halo on/off and cycles through the 4 modes.
+ Installation takes less than a second and only requires pushing Halo on to the hard hat.
+ Removal is just as easy; the user pulls the Halo off.
+ The rechargeable battery can be swapped out without a tool.
+ Workers can wear the Halo all day because it is lightweight and cord-free.
+ It is almost indestructible and able to survive the rigors of a construction site.

Construction sites are dangerous places; by lighting both the wearer and their environment, Halo improves safety and enables people to work more efficiently. Get home safe. Halo.
