Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments provide reflective safety apparel that combines passive illuminating elements with active illuminating elements for improved nighttime visibility. The active illuminating elements include a laser module coupled to flexible laser tubing. The laser module directs laser light into the flexible laser tubing. The laser tubing retains and transfers the laser light throughout its length even when bent. This flexibility allows the active illuminating elements to outline and conform to the shape of the passive illuminating elements. The laser tubing from different garments, such as a jacket and pants, can be coupled together. A single laser module can illuminate both garments as the laser light traverses the laser tubing of one garment to the other.
