Features
LED hybrid vest provides enough illumination to perform various tasks simply by wearing. As shown in the picture on the right, it illuminates an area 1m in front of the wearer at 100Lx or 200Lx for 8 hours. It can be used when installing lighting is impossible, or in places where it is difficult to receive lighting or natural light.
Differences from conventional products (high visibility safety clothing, work clothing, vests)
Conventional vests are generally labeled as “high visibility safety vest”, and many of them simply have
reflective material sewn into the vest.
Some vests have reflective material and LED and those vest can provide a certain degree of
visibility, but they are not very suitable
for work due to insufficient light.
A total of 24 LED elements are attached to the LED hybrid vest. The vest is more than just a safety vest;
it is a wearable, moving light.
Not only the visibility from the surroundings, but also sufficient workability and brightness ahead are
ensured.

advantages
The area ahead becomes brighter
The area in front of the wearer becomes brighter, providing a maximum illumination of 200Lx at a distance of 1m.
A standard LED vest with LED vest and an LED hybrid vest are compared below. Please see the difference in
visibility.
※Ceiling light is not used.
You may see that the LED hybrid vest on the left is more suitable for
work.
Does not occupy both hands, and easy to work
Handheld lights like flashlights are not suitable for working because one hand is occupied when using.
Headlamps are often used for work, but users complained that they only
provide limited light and they are heavy causing shoulder stiffness.
The LED hybrid vest can be worn over clothing, allowing you to work with both hands free.
Safety measure by preventing a fall
Factory with large equipment or storage with many high shelves may have areas where visibility is poor due to shadows.
Steps or obstacles at your feet in dark place can increase risk of falling.
hybrid vest can light the ground all the way down to the feet, helping to reduce the risk of minor fall
causing a secondary injury that could lead to a serious workplace accident.
It contributes to safety measures in dark places while reducing costs by
eliminating the need for additional lighting.
Excellent visibility from the surrounding area
As already mentioned, this vest has higher visibility than conventional safety vest.
It is because the vest made of reflective material will only be visible by reflecting the light that is shone on it.
As for the vest with LED, the light source is small, so unless the wearer gets quite close, s/he will not be
recognized and there is a risk of collision.
LED hybrid vest uses high-brightness LED, which has excellent visibility
from the surrounding area.
There are also four LED elements attached to the back, providing spherical light centered on the wearer.
Pictures when actually worn
A cement manufacturer’s case
Areas where light hardly reaches can lead to dark footing and poor visibility, which can lead to falling and workplace accidents.
By wearing LED hybrid vest, you can ensure illumination not only in front of you but also at your feet, contributing to safety measures.
Four LED elements attached to the back will show your location to the rear.
This high visibility prevents collisions with forklifts or such.
Viewpoint of a user
How it looks from the surroundings
Our basement storage’s case (view from the surroundings)
In the site where ceiling light cannot be installed or lighting is dim, you can ensure enough illuminance to
work just by wearing the vest.
It is bright enough when one person wears, but when several people wear the vests, the lights overlap and
the space becomes even brighter.
When one person wears the vest
When three people wear the vests
Our basement storage’s case (checking shelf labels)
The following photos are taken without the ceiling lights or camera flash on.
When you work for a short time in the room where the ceiling light is a mercury lamp, you need to wait for 10
minutes until the ceiling light is turned on completely.
If you wear a LED hybrid vest, you can check location labels without turning on the ceiling light, making picking time more efficient.

FAQ
What is the difference between conventional safety vests / LED vests?
Conventional products slightly improved visibility by attaching small LED to reflective vests.
LED hybrid vest can ensure illumination not only in front of you but also at your feet.
In addition to visibility purposes, which is the function of conventional products, it can also be
used as lighting to improve work efficiency and safety measures.
How long does it take to charge the batteries?
| Charging method (5V input) | 0→80% | 0→100% |
|---|---|---|
| AC adapter 5V-2.1A or higher | About 5 hours | About 7 hours |
Can I purchase just the battery?
Yes, you can.
Is the product waterproof?
No, it is not waterproof.
However, it has a rainproof function and has passed salt spray tests at an industrial testing
facility.
It can be used outdoors but using during heavy rain or in water are not recommended as the electrical
circuits may be damaged.
What is the maximum time it will stay lit?
When fully charged, it will light up for about 9 hours.
※The recommended continuous use is the specified 8 hours of use, but this may vary depending on the usage
environment and natural discharge when not in use.
How much does the light intensity drop after 8 hours of use?
The illumination drops by approximately 5 to 10% when the power is not used and after 8 hours of use.
What is the ambient temperature at which the product can be used?
0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, we offer a one-year product warranty.
