Volvo has reintroduced LifePaint, a reflective spray designed to increase the visibility and safety of cyclists and other road users in the dark.

LifePaint reacts to a vehicle’s headlights, warning drivers of the presence of cyclists in the dark. With more than 19,000 cyclists injured on the UK’s roads every year, the long dark nights are the perfect time to reintroduce this potentially life-saving safety product.

The ‘paint’ is invisible in daylight, but in the dark reflects light in the same direction as the light source, shining brightly to illuminate the objects it has been sprayed on. The spray sticks to dry textiles and is most effective on fibrous materials such as cotton, fleece, linen and certain nylons. It can also be applied to shoes, helmets, pushchairs and children’s backpacks – and even dog leads

 and collars.

LifePaint is available now from participating Volvo dealers and online from the site below.
