Illum Jacket : Glow in the dark clothes

Now you can ride like Robert Redford in "The Electric Horseman" but without bulky batteries.

It's called Illum Jacket and is developed with bicycle communters in mind.

The Illum concept jacket features electroluminescent surface graphics, activated by a soft-switch set into the cuff and powered by an integrated thin film battery that provides the small charge needed to activate the lighting via a transparent, printable conductive layer. A further printable polymer forms a photovoltaic solar cell used to recharge the battery.
