Delivering dual protection both night and day.

Bilsom Leightning Hi-Visibility Earmuffs

New Bilsom® Leightning® Hi-Visibility Earmuffs Do Double Duty: Noise Attenuation and High Visibility

-- Eye-catching bright green earcups and reflective headband provide additional safety protection day and night
-- Advanced Air Flow Control™ 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® Leightning® 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 bright 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™ 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.

Bilsom Leightning Hi-Visibility Earmuffs are an excellent choice for a wide range of industrial applications, including roadway construction and utility crews, airport ground and flight crews, survey engineers, ferry service operators, emergency response workers, railroad workers, or others who need both hearing protection and increased visibility on the job.
