Cleantech Products of the Month
Cleantech Products of the Month Cleantech can be many things – products specifically aimed at making your lifestyle or home more sustainable, or innovations to make the products we must have more sustainable. Moreover, products that make it easier, safer or more fun to make a sustainable choice also play an important role in the cleantech transformation. The products selected here represent a bit of all of that. Clean, green and innovative, they help you enjoy the budding spring in a sustainable manner, whether that means finding comfort at home on cold days or outdoor explorations in the spring sun.

LUMOS KICKSTART HELMET For many bicyclists, springtime is the time to dust off the bike and rejoice in the ability to save petrol money or bus fares while getting active outside and reducing their carbon footprint. However, with the long bright days of summer still a little while away, doing so safely requires adequate lighting. This is something which can cause a bit of a hassle, because the best and most traffic-safe lights tend to be expensive, and you don’t want to leave them unsecured when locking the bike to go into a shop or similar. On the other hand, you want to be able to easily mount and dismount the lights to take them on and off for charging. On top of that, who hasn’t tried rummaging through a bag looking for a set of lights before realising that they were still sitting in the charging station back home.
cause with the lights incorporated in the helmet, you will never forget to bring them along with you or leave them unsecured on the bike. For an avid, but forgetful bicyclist like this writer, this is bound to prevent many an annoyed bus ride back home. On top of that, the helmet adds some extra safety features. With integrated brake and turn signals, the helmet has been designed to help warn drivers of a cyclist’s presence and manoeuvres. The turn signals are operated wirelessly via a remote, which can be attached to handlebars.
