In this episode of The WTiN Podcast, we talk to Gates Hinds, co-founder and managing director of Lumiton.  

Founded back in 2018 by Hinds, Dr Marco Scipioni and Dr Faramarz Farahi, Lumiton has developed a solution that transforms textiles into a light delivery system for enhanced performance, protection, cooling comfort and wellness. Essentially, the team has created a patented technology which is embedded into synthetic yarns, transforming textiles so that they can transmit healthy red and near-infrared light to the body.  

In this podcast, Hinds goes into depth about the technology and better explains the range of benefits that the user experiences when wearing a Lumiton product. Elsewhere, he talks about the company’s new face masks, how to explain the technology to consumers, and the further applications and possibilities that are yet to be explored.
