I have a Lumos Ultra on order from Indiegogo.

Built in headlight/taillight. And it is supposed to be MIPS complaint.

They are supposed to be shipping some helmets now, but my number hasn't been called yet. :mad:

Hmmm... it appears as if one can already purchase online the model that I didn't buy. :P

The Ultra is a second gen, following a previous Lumos release.

Bontrager is offering a helmet model, the Circuit MIPS, that accepts magnetic mounts for GoPro & Bontrager fore & aft lights. Trek sez these mounts are tested to pop free ('breakaway') at a calculated force level.

I see some of our respondents above said since they've never crashed and hit the top of their helmet, they don't see the sense in a breakaway mount should they ride under a tree branch and snag their light/camera. We all get to make our individual decisions.

There's also a helmet called the Torch with built-in lights.

Perhaps 'compliant'? :) 'MIPS compliant' would be a new term for me. MIPS is a mechanical design which it is said reduces helmet rotational force at impact. It is one of several such designs. It would seem a particular helmet either uses the patented MIPS design under license or does not. Educate me.

The one review I read on it says it's a MIPS helmet not MIPS compliant whatever that means

To see or be seen ? I have the little usb red lights for the back to be seen. Very light and i don't even know it's on my helmet. For a light to be bright enough to see ( used two 18650 batteries ) and last a while I used a miners head lap. While it was great where ever I pointed my head I had light I found it to heavy and I was always having to adjust my helmet. I took off the heavy head lap and just use the head lights on my bike for being able to see in front.

nice

but it's $139. I'd get it if I was a city commuter but not for the % of road rides I do, which are mostly out in the "suburbs". nice choice of colors tho! I am in the market for a white helmet for the winter

breakaway sounds really smart. last summer my helmet camera hit a tree branch while I was bushwhacking a remote desolate trail. the thing broke right off. easy fix & a minor inconvenience. if I was knocked out or disabled I doubt my body would ever have been found. that would have been a long agonizing death

fast forward to the :40 sec mark ;-)

couldn't resist a sale & ordered a light from Magicshine.com (not the same as magicshine.us?) found out it's coming from China. found out Action Led is not the same company. where have I been? the Alty 500 can be used on bars & helmet. I won't get it for a while & I don't need more lights. or do I? never thought I'd buy a USB rechargeable light. but at $25 I had to try it

been enjoying my MJ-906 as well but requires an external battery. also mounting in on a helmet was a whole ordeal
