Light Helmet

All approved helmets are tested to the same standard and offer a VERY similar degree of protection.
The big thing - apart from being approved - is fit. And that can't be tested online.
I'd say a traditional helmet - if fitted - would offer a bigger safety advantage than any lighted helmet with a random fit.

I agree with @dabac, all helmets are supposedly have been tested to pass the standard set for the safety regulations. However, there are products here that have no integrity when it comes to standards so we should really be aware of what we are buying. The helmet meant to protect your head may be a risk when you figure in an accident. Check the manufacturer and search for backgrounders if the maker is a reputable company.

I am sorry for enter the wrong keyboard .And thanks for your info ,That is exactly what I think .Safety is the most important thing in our life .This one was recommended by my friend.he thinks it is a perfect produce for its lightest and multi-function.
I am wondering whether the comment is true after review on the website.So,I need some advise.

They look cool that's for sure. If you can find them at a local retailer, then you can actually try it out and see if it fits right. Comfort and safety comes first, and not the bling factor. But those lights sure look cool. I would get them if my head wasn't so big.

I think it's all nonsense and hype. Why you scream? Because with that many LED's plus a small battery (you won't want to wear a helmet with a big heavy battery on it) those lights at night would be about as bright as reflective tape! So lets say you have 80 Bright LED's like 1 watt (they do make 2 watt but I'm trying to make the thing work without being crazy yet 1 watt is what a light needs for a minimum) would put out a total of 80 watts, now what kind of battery do you think would be required for that? A huge one! So instead they have to use cheap super low power LED's so they can use a reasonable size battery that won't make you fall over face first from the weight. Cameras can be adjusted to make stuff appear as they're not, so they set the exposure to make them appear bright so you'll go gaga over them until you get home and try it night.

Save your money, if you have a helmet wear it, if not buy a good non lighted helmet and then buy a really nice tail light like the Cygolite Hotshot, it puts out 2 watts from a single LED.

If a given helmet meets safety standards, then you're good to go. Everyone that says that, aside from that, fit is what matters...they're exactly right. A helmet that doesn't fit properly could cost you your life one day. Ensuring a proper fit is one of the most important and smart things you can do. It's as simple as that.

You are correct. It is over the top and unnecessary to spend that kind of money on a overdone product. But it still would look cool nonetheless. Just keep it simple and go the right fit, first and foremost.

Cool looking...yes, practical...no. Someday the technology may exist to make a helmet like that sporting 80 1 watt LED's with a very lightweight and small battery with a long run time, right now that technology doesn't exist.

No ,I don't agree with that .First ,I want to buy this just as a birthday gift for my boyfriend.but I am a fresh hand as I have mentioned in the first and I am here just to find some advise about the product. The most important things for me is safety , A good product would save our life when we are in dangerous .quality is ranks second .May I ask you a question ,Do you cycling just at night? we can do it to keep health,travel ,go to school ,and something just for fun.So ,I don't think the LED and battery is most important as you said.Of course you can express anything you want ,and thanks for your advise.

I have heard this kind of helmet, but I don't know much about it. Maybe it's a good choice for gift. At least its appearance and functions look like very cool.

The discussion was about advice which I gave and I still stand by what I said. Yes I ride at night quite a bit in fact. I use a Light & Motion Vis 180 tail light on my seat bag, a Cateye LD600 on my seat post position vertically to take advantage of it's good side lighting, and a Planet Bike Super Flash Turbo on my helmet. For the front end I use a Cygolite MityCross 450 on my helmet and a Philips Saferide on the bar. So not only do I ride at night I use lights, and I see other people riding at night with lights or lack thereof, and can tell from experience that a small LED is barely visible and they remind me of the old days (mid 90's) when we ran around with dim xenon flashers.

Just because I gave advice doesn't mean you need to follow it, if you're happy going a different route then so be it, but I know you could have gone a brighter route. Like I said above, I've seen people riding around with those small little $5 dim LED lights that hang by a loop, if they're happy with that then fine, I just prefer something a lot brighter because I ride city streets and county roads and want to be seen from a far distance., perhaps if all I did was ride dedicated bike paths I wouldn't care much for brighter rear lights.
