"Be Seen Be Safe" With Silva Tyto - Awarded With OutDoor INDUSTRY AWARD 2011

LIVINGSTON, Scotland, October 3, 2011 -

Being visible to others is crucial for your and others’ safety when out exercising in the autumn and winter nights, and to increase your safety margins for the first time Silva launches Sports Safety Lights. Designed to be as versatile as possible for many sporting activities, the Silva Tyto™ can be attached onto the reverse of your headlamp, backpack or helmet when out running, biking or skiing. Not only useful for adults, this new safety light can be used by children and young adults to make them more visible in traffic.

Coming in two versions either with white or red light, the Silva Tyto™ creates a highly visible light with a 180-degree angle to make the wearer easier to spot from a long distance. The three LEDs have two light modes-steady or blinking-for even higher visibility. Running on two CR2032 batteries, the Silva Tyto™ will provide 24-100 hours of light depending on the light mode.

The Silva Tyto™ is attached using the clip; for bike attachment or similar use there is a strap included in the package. It is a tiny but rugged light that weighs 17 grams with high IPX6 water resistance level.
