The aim of the project is to create a prototype batch of LED lightbars (emergency services visual warning) that can be assembled by unskilled labour anywhere in the world. The objective is to provide our 118 distributors with a physical product to test the new concept to ensure it meets global demand.Market research has been undertaken to ensure the project offers consumers exactly what they need from the product to ensure it will be a success in the market.Successful completion of the prototype will provide the industry with: An aerodynamic, low power, high visibility product that can be assembled by a distributor that offers savings in vehicle emissions, wind resistance and increase in health & safety of emergency service personnel.The project will create new employment opportunities within the UK whilst utilising UK based contractors to provide external support for some areas.A new power motherboard control module will provide the product with a multi-voltage input (this will ensure the product can be used on any vehicle worldwide) and will offer RGB colour mix technology to produce any warning colour requirement worldwide with low current consumption. This technology will be powered by a low current duty driver which in turn will lower vehicle emissions and make the product ‘green’ due to its reduced carbon footprint as it can be shipped in small packages worldwide for assembly at its destination.The prototypes require 5 new injection mould tools to create the outer shells (x4) and new internal led cluster optic (x1). They will also require a new aluminium extrusion base tool which will give the product the support it requires for its aerodynamic function.Redtronic require TSB funding to enable the company to achieve worldwide IP protection for the new design, along with additional financial aid to ensure the project reaches the market within the shortest possible timeframe whilst using only UK based subcontractors.

该项目的目标是创建一批 LED 灯条（紧急服务视觉警告）原型，可由世界任何地方的非熟练工人组装。目标是为我们的 118 家经销商提供实体产品来测试新概念，以确保其满足全球需求。我们已经进行了市场研究，以确保该项目能够为消费者提供他们所需要的产品，以确保其在市场上取得成功。原型的成功完成将为行业提供： 一款可由经销商组装的空气动力学、低功耗、高可视性产品，可减少车辆排放、抗风并提高健康水平 该项目将在英国创造新的就业机会，同时利用英国承包商为某些领域提供外部支持。新的电源主板控制模块将为该产品提供多电压输入（这将确保该产品可以在全球任何车辆上使用），并将提供 RGB 颜色混合技术，以低电流消耗产生全球任何警告颜色要求。该技术将由低电流驱动器提供动力，从而降低车辆排放，并由于其减少的碳足迹而使产品变得“绿色”，因为它可以以小包装运输到世界各地，以便在目的地组装。原型需要 5 个新的注塑模具工具来制造外壳 (x4) 和新的内部 LED 集群光学器件 (x1)。他们还需要一种新的铝挤压基础工具，为产品提供空气动力学功能所需的支持。Redtronic 需要 TSB 资助，使该公司能够为新设计实现全球知识产权保护，并提供额外的财政援助，以确保该项目在尽可能短的时间内进入市场，同时仅使用英国分包商。
