Both located in Winnepeg, Cocoon Branding and Rooster Technologies let their powers combine to revolutionize wheelchair-specific lighting, a product that was desperately in need of an extreme makeover. "Until now, wheelchair lighting was either big, bulky, and crude, requiring professional installation, or it was poorly-adapted bicycle lighting," states Kyle Romaniuk, Cocoon Principal and Creative Director. "We set out to create a considerate product that could address the users' needs and incorporate a sense of style. Assistive devices do not need to be institutional in function and appearance."

Cocoon Branding, responsible for the overall design and engineering fo the assistive lighting unit, implemented Rooster's new proprietary technologies that monitor and react to both motion and light levels. Motion and absence of light automatically trigger illumination while increasing light levels and ceased motion cause the device to dim. This smart technology gives the wheelchair-user one less obstacle to face, in addition to the device's extremely simple-to-use, light and portable form and 2 AAA-operated LED bulbs with a burn time of 14.5 hours at 24 lumens. The Intelligent Assistive Lighting Unit will retail for only USD$15 and will be available in a variety of color choices.
