Rug Glows with Each Step





It only makes sense: a rug that lights up when you walk on it. They call it Footlume. "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."
The electroluminescent rug uses rechargeable batteries and lights up in response to the weight applied when a person walks across the carpet.
