LeDitSee Oy of Finland have a motto that
everyone has a right to See, be Seen and be Safe. For that reason they
have developed a range of patented electronic headgear products for use
across a whole range of outdoor leisure activities from Fishing
& Shooting to Hillwalking, Camping and Sailing. These
products have just been introduced to the UK and other markets through
sole distributors FINTRADE UK.
The secret
lies in the LED circuitry that currently has an EU-wide patent with
worldwide patent pending. In LeDitSee headgear 6, 8, 10 and
12 LED light modules are used. The 8 LED Hunter model
illustrated has a luminosity of up to 132,000 mcd. Various types and
colors of LEDs can be connected to your LeDitSee light
modules. These include red and ultraviloet LEDs.
International adventurer and explorer Patrick ”Pata” Degerman noted
that red light keeps mosquitoes and other biting insects at bay. So
could this be an end to the midge menace??
The product range also
includes a 6 LED White Light automatic version with an additional Red
Light LED that when activated will automatically activate the White
LED's when light is required. This also switches off automatically.
This model can also be operated in manual mode. e viewing
angle of an LED varies from 15° to 21°. In the LeDitSee®
headgear illustrated 8 LED light modules are used. The number of lights
on the model illustrated can be varied between 2, 4 or 8 depending on
the light required simply by tapping on the hat brim. This
produces a luminosity of up to 132,000 mcd.
LeDitSee hats are powered through a 9v alkaline battery (included)
or lithium rechargeable battery. At +6 degrees C the alkaline
battery with all lights on will operate continuously for approximately
50 hours. It is waterproof and can be washed by hand.
Renowned Scottish angler Alan Brown of Carnoustie has recently
trialled the Hunter model and proclaimed that: "This innovation is a
God send for dawn, dusk and night fishing on several counts. Firstly it
allows me to walk to the pools across rough ground safely without the
need of a torch or bulky head light with at least one hand
free. Secondly the angle of the LEDs and their position on the hat brim
makes, for example, tying flies on the line a great deal easier.
Previously I have been using a head mounted strap on light, but just
having the LEDs at a lower position allows me to direct the light to
where I actually need it to go. The power of the LEDs is
quite remarkable. Just last week I was deer shooting and
after a large buck was taken at last light it had run and fallen in
thick undergrowth. The Hunter was a great help in locating
the beast and made field dressing a great deal safer and
easier. The Hunter is also absolutely brilliant for rabbit
shooting."
