Light emitting clothing from Phillips
I can see where Phillps' Lumalive material (recently announced) could be useful in making commuting gear. Imagine a one foot square 'slow moving vehicle' triangle in luminescent orange and yellow on your back. Maybe have it alternating with the yellow 'Attention' triangle...the one with the big black exclamation mark in it.

It says the light emitting layer can be removable. I wonder if you could take that layer and retrofit it say into your winter jersey. That way it's a bit more insulation as well. I think this is pretty cool, but it would be hard to make a breathable jersey with this stuff. You could have a message on your panniers like "Share the Road" as well.

I have an LL Bean messenger bag with the illuminix piping on it. Two AA batteries in a holder in one of the pockets. The piping lights up either constant or flashing and can be see for quite a distance. Kind of cool.

On jackets containing the Philips Lumalive fabrics dynamic advertisements, graphics and constantly changing color surfaces can be displayed

I want one with a changeable marquee suitable for multiple occassions. You honk at me, my middle finger sign illuminates. I could have turn signals on there too. If there is a beautiful woman behind me, it could say "Follow Me, I'm Rich". The possibilities are endless.

Whatever. Why do I need to buy this from Philips, when all I have to do is soak my jersey or a t-shirt in plutonium for 1hr before I wear it?
Sheesh...some people...

Can't you just cover all your skin with plutonium? Less is more.

You could just repack your hubs and bb w/ plutonium and not have to worry about being a slow moving vehicle anymore.

Some people don't know anything.

Another thread also led me to a site that sold glow in the dark hair gel for Raves. Put that in a wig over your helmet.

Is this going to be on the final exam ?
