About Light Series Respiratory Mask
Light Series is a full face powered respiratory mask with integrated HEPA filtration. The mask is a modular platform intended for many uses, including everyday, medical, sport and industrial protection. Air is drawn in by a quiet fan and cleaned by HEPA filters before it is supplied inside the mask. Positive pressure and air flow are adjustable, and the controls are paired with a mobile application. The visor is made of optically clear polycarbonate with anti-scratch and anti-fog coating. A weight distribution design reduces pressure on the face, and the mask weighs 245 grams.

- Production Technology
- Optical clear Polycarbonate with special antiScratch and andFog coating, smart controls over paired mobile application combined with smart AirFlow adapting mechanism makes mask comfortable use of the mask for all general and active sport activities in daily use.
- Design Challenge
- The most important and most difficult was to create ergonomics and usability for the mask itself and its controls for the mask to be comfortable for daily use in normal life.
- Project Duration
- Project started in 2nd half of 2019. Market launch is expected to happen in the following months.
- Operation Flow
- Air is being taken in with a powerful silent fan from the outside and cleaned by HEPA filters (99.9% efficiency) before it is supplied into the mask. Exchangeable around face cushion allows to accommodate mask to the most faces with low-pressure tight fit for comfortable use during long hours.
- Research
- The project ignited as response to the pandemic. Currently, the mask is undergoing the PPE III certification and "crowd-testing" by selected betta testers. Started by one company, today a number of the specialized companies involved in the project being involved in the implementation of "add-ons" into the mask for it to be a respiratory platform, rather than just respirator.
We target the mask to be available on the market by May-June this year. - Inspiration
- This project started in 2019, even before we knew about the pandemic, but when pandemic broke out, we changed our direction a little bit when we found out PPE market needs innovation. Besides that, we are fans of Star Trek and Star Wars and we wanted to create something futuristic.
