The Repel HL is the first headlamp to combine high-intensity, adjustable LED lighting with a built-in insect repellent system. By harnessing waste heat from its LEDs, it silently disperses bug-deterring compounds from a replaceable lens cover — keeping insects away from your face without sprays, extra gear, or additional batteries.
Light and protection in a single hands-free tool — built for campers, hikers, first responders, and field pros.
The Repel HL is protected by a pending U.S. patent application. Opportunities in manufacturing, retail, wholesale, distribution, and licensing are available now.
The Repel HL turns any night task into a bug-free one — here’s the problem it solves, the heat-activated tech that makes it effortless, and how to get in touch.
Anyone who works or plays after dark knows the trade-off: switch on a headlamp and insects swarm toward the light and your face. Sprays wear off, wash away, and coat your skin in chemicals, while separate repellent devices mean more gear and more batteries to carry.
The Repel HL fixes it at the source, using the heat its own LED produces to volatilize repellent from a replaceable lens cover — forming a protective barrier around your face the moment the light turns on. No skin contact, no sprays, no extra batteries.

A closer look at the Repel HL and how it brings light and insect protection together in one hands-free design.
Outdoor enthusiasts and professionals who work after dark all run into the same frustration: turn on a headlamp and insects immediately swarm your face. Inventor JoeAnna Malone Karageorge set out to fix a problem every existing headlamp shared but none had solved.
“Every headlamp on the market attracts bugs. The Repel HL is the first to do something about it,” she said. “It’s one device that handles both problems at once — light and protection — so users can stay focused on what they’re doing.”
The result is a patent-pending design that integrates insect-repellent technology directly into the headlamp — adjustable-zoom white light, red/green and UV modes, dual power, and integrated accessories — built for campers, hikers, hunters, anglers, emergency responders, technicians, and field researchers alike.
