A new addition to the permanent collection 
of The Museum of Modern Art, New York

In 2005 Zelco's Whistle Keylight was included in "SAFE: Design Takes on Risk" at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition featured products designed "to protect body and mind from dangerous or stressful situations... respond to emergency situations... provide a sense of comfort and security". Most Zelco products have been conceived with precisely that intent and the Whistle Keylight is a fine example. 

Now Zelco Industries is pleased to announce that the Whistle Keylight has been accepted into the museum's renowned collection, which includes useful objects, selected on the criteria of quality and significance in the history of design. The Whistle Keylight now joins Zelco's famous itty bitty(r) Booklight and the Shirt Pocket Fluorescent Lantern, already included in the MoMA collection. 

The Whistle Keylight is a quick-release key holder with a piercing whistle 
that will attract attention and scare off muggers and animals. It's red LED 
night-vision bulb lasts forever. The 5-year lithium battery is included. 
Great protection for joggers, cyclists, children and walkers.
