We’re Rune Refinery, a couple of guys with families that like to pack up, hit the road, and have fun.

Whether for WORK, SCHOOL, or PLAY, we created the FireFly to be both functional and fun. From our years of experience working with and improving high intensity glow resins in various products, we saw an application for our glow materials in a keychain/sipper pull form.

Functionally high intensity glow resins help with visibility and location. When hiking with our kids as the sun sets we can see where everyone is at even when our kids like to run ahead.

When camping we found it difficult to fumble around in a dark tent to find things like a bag, shoes, or just the tent door zipper. eventually we just flip on flashlights waking everyone up.

With the FireFly attached to your tent and bag zippers among other things, a single glow charge takes 30 seconds and the light will last for hours, even through the night.

We even found our kids love the FireFly as a night light for those a little more afraid of the dark. We simply hang one from the center loop at the tent ceiling, give it a quick charge with a UV or LED light, and it gives enough light to act as a night light.

Functionally it also makes difficult zippers easier to get leverage on and pull or just making it easier to locate and reach for a small child.

Lastly we found that while we love to camp and play in the dark it’s often a challenge locating certain objects we previously placed somewhere. like where you set your water bottle down or your knife or flashlight or keys, and on and on. With a FireFly attached those items are easier to locate.

And who can deny the fun that glow provides, our kids love to attach them to their backpack zippers, their house key, and other personal items for every day use.

Our team has spent years working with glow resins and improving their overall qualities for glow strength and longevity. We love to let our imaginations run wild with ways to use these resins in fun and functional ways. Creating the FireFly zipper pull was an idea that bounced around for a while in our minds. When we finally made prototypes and went on our first camping trip with them we were amazed at just how much everyone loved them and how functional they really were. We hope this product finds a place at campsites around the world and brings help and joy to all who use them.
