-- Bright fluorescent green earcups and reflective headband provide additional safety protection day and night
-- Advanced Air Flow Control(tm) Earmuffs provide up to NRR 30 hearing protection
Smithfield, RI -- While workers face the challenge of protecting themselves from noise on the job, they often face additional safety risks that require a high degree of visibility. That's where the new Bilsom(r) Leightning(r) Hi-Visibility Earmuffs come in. Delivering dual protection both night and day, Leightning Hi-Visibility Earmuffs offer both maximum attenuation and total visibility, especially in outdoors or in low-lighting situations.
Eye-catching fluorescent green earcups on Leightning Hi-Visibility Earmuffs contrast noticeably against dark backgrounds, in low-lighting or in inclement weather. Plus, Leightning Hi-Visibility is the only earmuff on the market that incorporates a reflective headband that illuminates when exposed to light, providing additional safety, day or night.
Utilizing Bilsom's Air Flow Control(tm) technology, Leightning Hi-Visibility Earmuffs provide better overall protection and more consistent noise attenuation, especially at low frequencies. Convenient snap-in ear cushions can be easily replaced if they become soiled or damaged. Rugged steel wire headband construction provides needed durability while the foam padded headband relieves pressure on the head for long-wearing comfort. Leightning Hi-Visibility is available in the standard L3HV headband style [NRR 30], as well as a convenient folding design with optional belt storage case, providing protection up to NRR 27.
