Shine Bright in Darkness by Rashed Rafson is a video commercial advertisement for a pair of slippers with headlights. LED lights are attached to the front of the slippers to safely guide the user through the night. Instead of blindly stumbling through the dark, users can easily illuminate their path and avoid any possible injuries. Many people are sensitive to light in the dark or may not want their brains to be signaled awake by their home lights. Inspired by the various chindogu inventions, Rafson seeks to fulfill an unthought need to have light in different areas of darkness.
