Overview
The 2C Solar Light cap is an extremely useful gadget for all those who want to be protected from the sun during the day while lit up at night. This one-of-a-kind cap is an easily operated headdress which features a special solar panel, built-in on the top of the cap. A microprocessor controlled P.W.M. operation and discharging system keeps control over the brightness of the light.
Using solar power to charge the batteries during daytime, the included LED's will provide light for up to 4 hours on high beam or over 24 hours in the low-power mode.
The electronics are stormproof and the light is angled down so you don’t blind the people around you. If you use head mounted lights a lot, this seems like a useful alternative to the conventional “elastic band around the head” approach they usually take.
Outdoor Recreation
Enjoy the outdoors in confidence, knowing that you are protecting yourself from the harmful radiation from the sun, and have the backup of hands-free light should you run out of daylight. Campers, cyclists, fishers, hikers, hunters,and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere benefit from the convenience and simplicity of a 2C Solar Light Cap.
Personal Safety
Whether you are walking your dog, concerned about your children being caught out in the dark, or putting together an emergency survival kit, the 2C Solar Light Cap provides an easy, convenient, and hands-free source of light that you can use whenever you need it.During times of natural disaster, where infrastructure can be affected for many days while power is restored, the 2C Solar Light Caps have no dependency on battery replacement or electrical supply.It’s an essential addition to your survival kit.
Workplace
Add a 2C Solar Light Cap to the uniform of your employees, crews, security officers, or fleet drivers? Handsfree light will make their job much safer, and with no batteries that need to be replaced, they can always avoid the need to fumble in the dark.
Corporate
2C Solar Light Cap can be branded with your logo, which makes them an ideal promotional product for use as a corporate gift, or enhancing your environmentally conscientious representation.
