LUM GUARD is a portable, multi-functional environmental air monitor designed to provide accurate, real-time monitoring and analysis of various air components.
From CO (Carbon Monoxide) to HCHO (Formaldehyde), EX (Hydrogen-containing Combustible Hydrocarbons), and TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds), LUM GUARD tracks it all.
In addition to air monitoring, LUM GUARD also provides detailed environmental data, including Temperature, Humidity, Altitude and Barometric Pressure.
Designed with convenience in mind, LUM GUARD features an 8000mAh battery, ensuring long-lasting performance, along with a lightweight and portable design, making it perfect for various scenarios, from home use to outdoor adventures.
Whether you’re monitoring indoor air for your family or detecting environmental conditions on the go, the LUM GUARD displays the parameters of your environment in real-time.
Camping- Beware of CO
Camping in the great outdoors should be a relaxing experience, surrounded by nature’s beauty. However, it’s important to stay aware of the CO (carbon monoxide) levels in your tent.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can go unnoticed, often produced by incomplete combustion from heating or cooking in enclosed spaces.
The LUM GUARD is your trusted companion, providing real-time, highly accurate CO level measurements. If carbon monoxide levels detected exceed 50 ppm, it immediately alerts you with a beeping warning.
Hiking- Check Oxygen Levels
As altitude increases, oxygen levels decrease, making it especially important to monitor the surrounding oxygen content during high-altitude climbs.
Oxygen concentration changes are silent and often go unnoticed, as the human body lacks specialized organs to directly sense them.
When oxygen levels drop, gradual physiological effects—such as dizziness, fatigue, and impaired focus—can occur. Unfortunately, the brain is not highly sensitive to low oxygen levels, making these changes difficult to detect without proper tools.
LUM GUARD can monitor oxygen levels in real-time and sound an alert when oxygen falls below 17%.
Note: The oxygen content displayed by Lum Guard is a converted value based on ASL, not the actual measured value. It is only for reference during outdoor activities and should not be used for any purposes that require the determination of specific oxygen content.
Exploring- Know More About Your Environment
When exploring, the LUM GUARD not only helps you monitor air around you but also tracks other environmental factors:
- Real-time temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure data to help plan your clothing and activity schedule.
- Accurate altitude measurements to support wilderness navigation and climbing plans.
Versatile Outdoor Features: Beyond Air Monitoring
- 8000mAh Battery and 60Hrs Long Lasting
Thanks to the ultra-low power consumption of LUM GUARD’s MEMS sensors and its built-in 8000mAh lithium battery, it offers an impressive 60 hours of battery life, reducing the need for frequent recharging—ideal for long outdoor trips.
With a lightweight 300g design and integrated hooks and magnetic modules, it’s easy to place the device wherever you need it.
- 18W Emergency Discharge
The LUM GUARD is equipped with an 18W USB-C port that supports both charging and discharging functions. In emergencies, you can use it to power your smartphone, tablet, or other gadgets, ensuring you stay connected when it matters most!
- LED Light for Emergency
The LUM GUARD is ingeniously designed with an emergency light function, offering enhanced versatility.
With a simple press of the dedicated light button, you can effortlessly turn on it or transform it from a highly focused spotlight, which is perfect for spotlighting specific areas or objects with precision, into a wide-angled floodlight.
This unique feature allows it to adapt seamlessly to various scenarios and better meet your diverse lighting requirements, whether it’s for illuminating a large space evenly during an emergency or simply adjusting the lighting effect to suit your current task or environment.
Furthermore, the SOS mode under the emergency light function enables the LUM GUARD to promptly send out a distress signal for you when needed, ensuring your safety and providing an added layer of security in critical situations.
Cars are essential modes of transportation, and RVs have become mobile homes for many outdoor enthusiasts. A significant amount of time is spent in vehicles, and extended idling or traffic congestion can increase carbon monoxide levels inside closed vehicles.
The LUM GUARD measures the level of carbon monoxide in the air in real-time and accurately. What’s more, it beeps and flashes when the carbon monoxide level exceeds 50 ppm.
Additionally, the materials used in car interiors and new cars may be sources of formaldehyde (HCHO) and TVOCs. The LUM GUARD helps you monitor carbon monoxide levels inside your car and can also display the real-time concentrations of formaldehyde (HCHO) and TVOCs.
Beyond outdoor activities and transportation, we spend the majority of our daily lives indoors—sleeping, cooking, working, and engaging in countless other activities.
Considering how much time we spend inside, understanding the air we breathe is crucial. Poor indoor air quality can affect our health and well-being, making reliable air monitoring essential for helping creating a safer, healthier environment.
Cooking in Your Kitchen, Pay Attention to The EX (Hydrocarbons)
The Lum Guard continuously monitors the concentration of all combustible EX (Hydrocarbons) in the air in real-time and sounds a beeping alarm and flashes a light to alert you when the concentration exceeds the safe limit (0.1ppm).
Relaxed in Your Home, Remember to Check the TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds)
TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds) refers to the total concentration of all volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the air within a defined space.
These organic compounds exist in the air as vapors at room temperature and contribute to environmental pollution.
When the TVOC level in the air exceeds 3.0mg/m³, the Lum Guard will emit a beeping alarm as well as a flashing light to remind you of the TVOC in your environment.
Don’t ignore HCHO (Formaldehyde) in your work environment.
Due to the significant nature of formaldehyde’s toxicity, health hazards, and specific sources (e.g., renovation materials and furniture glues), even at very low concentrations, it may have significant health product impacts.
Therefore, when monitoring air in your space, LUM GUARD also displays HOCO (formaldehyde) separately to detect the level of HOCO (formaldehyde) in the air in real-time.
Note: Shipping for 1 pack is expected to be free for mainland US (excluding overseas islands) and Germany. For other regions, an estimated shipping fee of $10 will apply.
Note: The color selection for each perk will be confirmed through a survey after the campagin is successfully funded. Each backer will have the option to choose from any of the unlocked colors!
Inspiration
At LUMOPAL, our mission has always been to deeply explore and address the evolving needs in outdoor living.
We believe everyone deserves a portable air monitor that works seamlessly both indoors and outdoors. It must be easy to carry, offer long-lasting performance, sensitive detection, and displat relable results in real-time.
The design of the Lum Guard draws inspiration from the turtle shell—a remarkable natural defense that protects turtles from external threats.
Much like a turtle’s shell, Lum Guard is envisioned as a sturdy shield for its users. It stands ready to monitor your environmental air, no matter where you are.
From Concept to Creation
Achieving our goal of findling a sensitive and reliable gas sensor module was a pivotal step in the development of the LUM GUARD Portable Environmental Air Monitor. To this end, we partnered with CSMS, leveraging their advanced MEMS-Based Intelligent Gas Detection Module, and enlisted the expertise of Dr. Lui, a seasoned technical consultant, to guide us through the tuning and adaptation of LUM GUARD.
Principle of Technology
The MEMS gas sensor employs semiconductor materials and MEMS technology. By detecting interactions between the nano-sensitive film and gas molecules, changes in the sensitive material’s electrical properties are converted into signals for quantitative gas concentration analysis.
By stacking multiple sensor units made from various materials and using algorithmic analysis, the features and concentrations of gases can be effectively characterized.
Machine learning algorithms enhance mixed gas detection accuracy by processing signals from the sensor array.
