Lumos Smart Helmet

Lumos is the new helmet to get if you usually commute with your bike. Especially designed to be seen by drivers, in fact, not only be seen but also allowing drivers to see in advance what you´re about to do, because it features braking lights and turning signals. The brake lights work through the action of the built in accelerometer, whenever you slow down they will turn on, these brake LED lights are disposed in a triangular form, an obvious association with all the warning traffic signals. The LED turning signals are activated by the wireless turning signals controls, that you mount on the handlebar to let the drivers know where you´re going, keeping your hands on the steering device as you should. You can choose the Lumos helmet between two colors, charcoal black or pearl white. Lumos also comes with white lights in the front of it. A well thought, lightweight and well lit safety wise device. watch the video

The Lumos Smart Helmet will retail for $119, but you can pre-order yours now from Kickstarter for just $85.
