Teva Illum Sandals with a Built-in/Slapped-on LED Flashlight

Teva Illum recently introduced their new products Sandals with built in LED Flashlight which was inspired by the suffering experience that darkness is always a issue/restriction for outdoor activities. The upgraded version of flip flop would serve with comforts and darkness-carefree. As claimed on Teva Illum's blog: "illūm seamlessly fuses convenience, practicality and performance upon one of the most comfortable sandal platforms on the market. With illūm, The Glow From Below™ is always just one step away."

iLEDist's comment:

Other sources said  LEDs can be removed and attached to a keychain as needed. But iLEDist still wondered how the LED light is activated, is there any light sensors to make the most use of it? And if you google ""illuminated shoes", we can see Teva Illum isn't the first one to have the concept: Jezign has illuminated footwear already with variety options, Reebok sells kids shoes with illuminated strap... ... So iLEDist would not say the LED sandals from Teva Illum is a delightful surprise but it filled in the gap that the existing products are more preferred for sports activities.

Lased LED Light Towers

Newly discovered from Flickr: the lased LED towers from Jared Tarbell.
The outputs cut and perforation vectors for the tower with almost any dimension are based on a written algorithm. The materials are watercolor paper and a little glue. When the tower is removed, the LED and battery would be attached to the base exposed.

Cool ideas and beautiful shot! We usually use Adobe illustrator to define the path for the 2D laser cut, it is good to know it can be controlled algorithmically and the outcome looks really lovely and delicate! And we agree with one of the flickrs: Jared, we are looking forward to seeing it on the market!
