Abstract
The invention provides conspicuity devices and methods. A first embodiment includes a tool band and an elongate lighting device adapted and configured to admit light having an advantageous spectral energy distribution. The device can have many additional and/or alternative passive and/or active conspicuity features, such as lasers, lamps, photoluminescent and retroreflective materials, among others.
Claims5
A conspicuity device having a first end and a second end, comprising:
- a) an elongate fire resistant webbing portion;
- b) a fire resistant elastic portion attached to the webbing portion;
- and
- c) a coupling portion adapted and configured to selectively attach the first end of the band to the second end of the band;
- and
- d) an elongate lighting device attached to the tool band having a first end and a second end, the elongate lighting device defining a longitudinal axis bound by the first end and second end and a transverse axis, wherein the elongate lighting device defines a plurality of spaced relatively bright emitting segments separated by relatively dimmer emitting segments.
An air tank defining an outer surface including an electroluminescent lighting element disposed beneath an outer surface of the tank.
An lighting device including at least one lighting element disposed within a fire-resistant encasement adapted and configured to house the lighting element, wherein the encasement includes a plurality of layers of material bonded together to define a compartment between the layers adapted and configured to receive the lighting element.
