Light In the handbag

“The Speed of Light” is a Young Enterprise company supported by HSBC that offers post-secondary students the opportunity to set up and run their own business. HSBC assists Young Enterprise both financially and in terms of expertise and consultancy by the bank’s staff to help young entrepreneurs develop their innovative ideas into concrete products that make business sense.

This company is made up of 10 St Aloysius students, who came up with the innovative idea of the “Luglight”. A Luglight is basically a small LED bulb, connected to a battery that can be attached to the inside of one’s purse, handbag or backpack and can be switched on and off at the owner’s discretion.

The purpose of Luglight is to provide a sufficient amount of light that will illuminate the inside of the owner’s bag. If someone is in a club, a bar, a restaurant or anywhere where there is little or no light and wants a specific item, precious time will be wasted trying to find it.

Since the Luglight will be attached to a specific area that the owner chooses, the item can be found easily and without hassle.

These are available in four different colours, which are black, white, yellow and red. To order, send an e-mail on [email protected] and you will be contacted immediately by the company.
