Safety!

Increasing your vision or be seen easily as a signage in a foggy night, to save you from what could be an accident are vital to nighttime safety. Bad storms and foul weather can be horrific, especially when most of your vision is blocked by it. Normal incandescent yellow fog lights today can get hot and burn out easily. An LED based fog light would be the ideal type of light to use because of the high efficiency and long life operation time. This is where LED technology is taken to the next level.
 

A simple lens type filter may reduce the brightness. To date there is NO LED manufacturer that can produce a pure yellow LED bright enough or cost comparable to a normal incandescent fog lamp. However, the LumaRay fog beam design uses a different approach.
 

How does it work?

FOFS (Fluorescent Optical Filter System)

The optical lens is impregnated with an enhanced fluorescent pigment.  The fluorescent pigment is excited by using a white, blue, or near UV LED light source to produce the fluorescent yellow light color necessary for the task. The optics then further concentrate the color intensity and the light altogether. With the right mixture of fluorescent dye, it will produce a fog light with a yellow color light stream (~570nm) that improves vision in poor weather conditions during DAYTIME or NIGHTTIME.
 

Applications

The new FOFS LED fog light technology benefits numerous applications such as outdoor recreation, cycling, automotive, marine sports, signage and professional markets (i.e. fire fighters and military personnel). The yellow light is also less likely to attract insects, making it ideal for campers, hikers, or areas with heavy insect activity.

The FL6 is the first flashlight that uses the new FOFS technology producing a yellow fog beam that opens up a path in foul weather, piercing through foggy conditions.
