Welcome to Lumos Co-Creation Series

I find that strobe flashing lights are not nearly as effective as ramped pulses that fade in and out of intensity. The fading pulses are easier on other road traffic, and on night reflections, especially at night. I wonder if fading can be incorporated into current and future products?

I like the idea of camera and recording capability. There’s so many inconsiderate vehicular drivers on the road.

Please add a projector light that would cast a picture of a bike on the road. This will let the other road users to be cautious when approaching from rear, or overtaking or while initiating turns.

In the dark I look like a radio active Christmas tree – lights back and front, Lumos helmet, lights on my back pack and lihhghts at the handlebar ends. So I can safely say I’m all in favour of lights that keep people safe. But certainly agree that the environmental footprint of any new product needs to be considered

With all the lights on the helmet, you might want to look in adding cameras on the front and back of the helmet for safety.

my ultra nice helmet.fault no turning lights on front. when rideing your bike you needall the support for safe cycling. suggest make a turning that we can fit 2 our ultra wirelessthat will work with our ULTRA THEN ULTRA WOULD BE PERFECT tks

Will be interested to see what the final product becomes, but agree with others. This needs to consider the Circular Economy so that they are long-lasting and repairable. Plus easily recycled or reused at the end of its purpose in life.

Great thing! How about that enlightens the rider. attached to the saddle (e.g. mounted on the saddle bars below the seating), facing frontwards and upwards thus shedding light on the riders back, on top maybe even below to make the bike visible? Same thing for front lights, just vv. ;-)

Fully agree with Felix, steady lights are the best and easies up with evaluation of distances. Flashing lights are also vanishing in the traffic stream and may even be harmful e.g. for people with epilepsy.

White light(s) ahead and red one(s) behind. Yellow light sideways might be good too.

Turn signals in the helmet are great, but would be good to have in the bike as well, synchronised of course ; ).

I like this shift towards designing more lighting on bikes. I worry though, that we’re contributing to the waste crisis by simply adding to the number of lights that are on a bike. I’d like some lights that are 1). Long-Lasting 2). Easy to repair, or replace components of and 3). Are placed tactically to require the least number of lights to create max effort. I don’t need to be a Christmas tree on the road.

Partner with Patagonia, by having them supply long sleeve cycling shirts with custom thin pockets that would hold LUMOS’s light modules that can be inserted where ever, when ever needed!

Would like a front signal light for my Ultra helmet. Could mount on front of bike.

Foldable compacted helmet with lights will be way super cool!!! This will be three steps ahead of all helmet design!

Would be good if while cycling I could charge devices, e.g. lights on the bike, power banks or phones.

Helmet tech is fine but adds weight to be supported by the neck. How about something at shoulder level? A bib or necklace maybe.

When will Lumous start shipping to Australia, again? Got given a discount code but couldn’t use it because the shipping option for International excluded Australia.

Have you experimented with the noticeability of steady vs. flashing lights? In my experience, it is much more difficult to spot and clearly identify cyclists with flashing lights (front or back) than with strong steady lights.
Also, on narrow roads / cycle paths over-strong headlights can blind other cyclists.

Great idea when will they be ready for sale

Great ideas.
I’d prefer the standard: white light to the front, red to the back, yellow to the sides.

(As most drivers are not used to the marine standard with port and starbord in red and green ;-) )

Hello,
I would be happy if the helmet could also have yellow warning lights that could be switched on via the remote control. Possibly press left and right at the same time.
As a firmware update also for the helmets of the first generation.
Best regards
Stefan Koke

really great idea having them pair with the helmet so everything is in unison

Turnsignals, which matches with Roadcycle handlebar would be great :-)

I would like to see the lumos matrix with a bright color (orange, yellow instead of black or white) and lights on the side.

It would seem to me that the widest footprint for lights would be on handlebar mounted mirrors as they could extend beyond the width of handlebars. While lights on the reverse side of the mirror could have a larger surface for easier viewing by oncoming vehicles , a light strip on the outer frame would also make the rider visible from vehicles approaching from behind.

I love my Lumos!
I hope you put one out with front turn signals,
or handle bar mounted turn signals.

I only ride in daylight…I’ve had soooo many people stop me to ask about my helmet. The lights are bright and visible but is there a way to make them MORE visible? I have the kickstarter helmet.
