Footlume: Electroluminescent Rug that Glows when You Walk
Nandini | Mar 26 2008


If you are no red carpet celebrity but, think you deserve no less honorable treatment then this electroluminescent rug will make you feel like a celebrity. This new electroluminescent flooring called “Footlume” is conceptualized by Leona Dean, of London South Bank University and another LSBU engineering student Zoe Robson. The light-up rug touted as the future of floor fashion will not just add to your hi-tech abode but will keep you safe from toppling over in the dark. The electroluminescent rug uses rechargeable batteries and lights up in response to the weight applied when a person walks across the carpet. “The glow that the rug emits is very soft,” said co-inventor Leona Dean, of London South Bank University, who also noted the innovation’s party applications, “It can provide ambient mood lighting or flash in time to music as a talking point at a party.” We have earlier also told you about LED wallpaper and LED tiles.
