Күн бұрын

Derek Cozens, founder of 'FlowSignals' entered the Den seeking £50,000 investment in return for a 10% equity stake in his company that has begun bringing LED lights onto stop sign - as Derek truly, believes that stop signs usually go unseen. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond the Dragons...
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

I actually found his website a few years after he appeared on dragons den where he explained it. It's basically to have red flashing lights on the posts of traffic lights to warn people who are turning right that there is oncoming traffic. Bad drivers do try to turn right at traffic lights without realising they need to give way to drivers going the other way, but obviously this would not solve the problem. Anyway, he was still adamant that this was a good idea. You've gotta feel for the poor fella.

It's interesting, in Australia they introduced flashing LEDs on school zone speed times, because people kept missing them. The man's idea won't make any money, but what he's saying about peripheral vision and how easily people might miss some rudimentary sign actually makes sense. I feel sorry for the guy; he was made fun of on national TV.

Out of the corner of your eyes you spot a moving light. Its soothing motions guide your eyes to a sign barely visible. The dim light illuminates the words "One way". You are saved, Thanks to the flow sign you will persevere through this dark night, to see your wife Suzy doing make-up once more! "

@🅹🅰🆈🅵🅰 ✓ • 15 years ago⠀⠀⠀ Right. It's like, basic human psychology this guy isn't grasping. If you see a big red stop sign, your reaction is instinctive and immediate. That's why they work 99% of the time. Something that is moving and flashing is going to hold your eye for longer while you have to think about how to react to it, which is precisely why they use flashing lights to slow down and redirect traffic in emergencies and such. When it comes to normal flow of traffic, however, 1-2 seconds of distraction could literally kill you.

He probably came onto the show out of desperation, but having looked at the application form for the show. It doesn't remotely fulfill the minimum standards i.e. patents and proof of company ownership. I'm guessing the production were either naive and didn't care, or thought it would make for excellent entertainment.

They had installed solar powered red flashing lights on the poles of four stop signs at a dangerous intersection on a country road near my home in New Jersey, USA. Since the installation three years ago, it is much easier for people to see the STOP signs at night and has decreased the number of collisions which used to happen on a yearly basis. The inventor is correct, these lights grab the attention of the drivers and save lives.
