Designed with urban cyclists in mind, Lumos is a next generation helmet that brings intuitive and common sense features to our most important piece of gear. At its core, Lumos is a comfortable helmet designed to be both sleek and strong. With more than 50 built in LEDs, Lumos really helps you stand out at night. Its lights make you more visible in all directions because they're higher, and larger than traditional bicycle mounted lights. And since they are a part of your helmet, you don't have to worry about your lights being stolen off your bicycle, or forgotten at home. With a built in accelerometer Lumos detects when you're slowing down and automatically displays a brake light so that people behind you can easily see and react to your changing speed. Hand turn signals are often hard to see at night. Lumos displays left and right turn signals controlled by a wireless remote on your handlebars so that drivers can see your intentions, and give you space. We built Lumos to be rugged and water resistant. With one button to turn on and simple micro USB charging, Lumos is easy to use, and fits seamlessly into your daily routine.
