Covestro, formerly Bayer MaterialScience, has supported from its conception the development of 'Luna', an innovative lamp for baby carriages, by the German start-up Storch.

The lamp is mounted on the baby carriage by a magnet and will change brightness level or to soothing coloured lights with a tap on the case, says Covestro.

Makrolon 2207, a special polycarbonate from Covestro which is developed specifically for energy-efficient LED lighting applications, has been used for the carriage lamp. The translucent plastic provides glare-free light which will not harm baby eyes.

“From its high-grade parts to its German manufacturing, Luna meets the highest quality standards. In addition to excellent light properties, the Makrolon material is characterised by great durability and fracture resistance,” says Dennis Caspar, Storch entrepreneur and developer of the lamp.

The lamp is injection moulded and provides a uniform shape states Covestro.
