Firefly smart clothing is unique in embedding a series of 18 LED lights which flash in a pattern that looks like a moving person. This gives better safety than the current clothing-based safety systems - reflectors rely on external light sources, so a driver may not see a reflector on a jacket in time, and fixed lights are not as easy to see as a string of flashing lights. The Firefly products include shirts and safety belts to make running, bicycling or working on a construction site much safer.

Flex worked with MAS Holdings to make sure the motion of the flashing lights would look like a person running or riding a bike from a long distance, as the lights show a runner's moving arms or a bicyclist's pumping legs. The battery charge on a shirt is expected to last about five hours between charges, or a week's worth of workouts. (SV)
