Helmet-Mounted Brake Lights!
July 11, 2014
When it comes to motorcycle safety, you can never have too many lights. That’s why helmet-mounted brake lights are becoming more popular among the riding community.
This safety feature improves your visibility by adding extra brightness at night, giving extra caution to drivers when braking, and adding a light at eye-level for close-traffic situations when taillights are harder to see.
Motorcycle helmet lights can be attached to any helmet. They are bright, self-adhesive and come with a wireless transmitter that connects to the motorcycle wiring. Newer helmet safety lights also include hazard lights and turn signals. They can also be configured for use with up to two helmets.
Once installed, all the rider has to do is use their brakes or turn signals and the helmet will automatically respond to existing controls.
When cars and trucks collide with motorcycles, the drivers often claim they simply didn’t see them. They say “they came out of nowhere”. Well, motorcycles never come out of nowhere. Sometimes it takes a little extra caution on the driver’s part to see these smaller vehicles.
However, with an extra light on the helmet that is bright and lit up at eye-level, this new safety feature will no-doubt increase motorcycle visibility. And, increased visibility is always a good thing.
