RunLites patented gloves were recently named the winner of the regional Small Business Association’s InnovateHER 2016 Challenge. Mary Tiffin, President and CEO of RunLites, invented the gloves because as a runner and working mother of three, she could only find time to exercise at night and was frustrated by the inefficiency of flashlights and headlamps. Tiffin likens her “aha” moment of combining gloves and flashlights to the legendary brilliance of combining peanut butter and chocolate to create Reese’s ever-popular peanut butter cups. Drawing on her successful career background in fashion and technology, she developed RunLites with the help of the engineering team at Bucknell University’s Small Business Development Center.

“Whether you’re an athlete squeezing in a late night workout after dusk, a hunter setting up the perfect spot before dawn, or you need a little extra light working in the basement or attic, RunLites are your life light,” said Tiffin. “RunLites offers a powerful, hands-free, comfortable and wearable solution for handling the dark—no matter what the application.”

 

Indoors or outdoors, with low visibility comes increased risk for accidents. While there are many nighttime safety solutions on the market that let the user be seen, RunLites Gloves are a more convenient, unobtrusive innovation that allows users to actually see what is in front of them, not just be visible to others. RunLites’ key innovative benefits include:
• Lightweight, compact, hands-free safety light
• Two brightness settings, projects light in front of you where you need it, up to 30 feet
• 6-12 hours of re-chargeable battery life.
• Half-length or full-length models for varied climates
• Specially designed palm pocket with built in safety strap to hold IDs, keys, money, or music unit
• Reflective strip for added safety

The unisex RunLites Gloves come in a half-length, dry-wick model that retails at $34.99 and a full-length, polar fleece model for $39.99. The tops are fitted with a light providing up to 80 lumens, with a USB rechargeable battery. They are available online at GoRunLites.com
