The helmet saved my life

The helmet is a replacement for the exact same model which protected me in an accident. The helmet got crashed, my head suffered not even the tiniest scratch, no concussion, nothing. I am super grateful and reordered immediately. The helmet does not only offer (now proven) crash protection, it also makes you visible - accident prevention. And it is super comfy. 10 stars!

The support broke and no spare available on the website

Great light but one is impossible to be used because the support broke and I can’t buy a replacement part on the website, it’s unavailable

Easier To See and To Be Seen

Works as intended! I was fumbled if I wanted the helmet that offered the function to talk with the helmet, but I chose for maximum visibility in the dark. I really like how it offers turn signals too. Great design. 10/10: would recommend (if you have the funds).

Comfortable

Any helmet that isn’t comfortable won’t be worn.

Lightweight and comfortable

I very much enjoy the lighter weight of the helmet. The lighting is superior at night. Would be 5 stars but it scratches so darn easily - it fell less than a foot from my coffee table and has a scuff on it.

Visibility

I love my helmet, however I wish it had front turn signals to indicate what I intend to do when facing oncoming traffic.

Very bright and good rear light, brake light not really useable on normal roads

All over all the firefly match my expectations. Using them as brake lights doesn't work reliably, though. Bumps in the road (which are unfortunately quite common in my city) trigger the lights quite often, but actual breaking rarely does.
But the ability to use them as turn signals is really good and I use this feature very often.
Overall quality is good.
The time needed to press the button to turn the firefly off could be a little bit shorter. That both lights turn off simultaneously is a very nice feature, though. At least I only need to press one button.

High quality light

Higher quality light that’s worth the money. I’ve gotten the cheap ones and went back to Lumos for my second light. Only complaint is its very hard to remove the light from the universal adapter mount once its snapped in, but you pretty much only do this once. I wish it didn't require so many various adapters.

My goto helmet

The price kept me away from this helmet but eventually got it this year and have not looked back. It’s stylish and aerodynamic while it’s also uniquely visible on road. I rode this season out with my Lumos eagerly waiting for the next one

Improvement over kickstart, but one major flaw

The lights seem brighter and the pattern more “obtrusive”, which is a good thing. However, the loss of the front turn signal is a MAJOR issue. I do a great deal of suburban riding. When I come up to a turn I now have to go back to hand signals if a car is approaching.

Love it; needs better brim attachment

Feel very visible in the helmet - lights and the color. Brim attachment is useless; I added a ‘Da Brim’ to resolve that issue.

What I wish other helmets had

I love the lights and the fit on this helmet. It's nice to have the ponytail capacity. I haven't had any heavy rain yet, which is what killed my last one (Kickstarter version). The mips still slip out of the slide, but I've discovered that if I fully loosen the twist adjustment before putting the helmet on, it reduces the problem.

This helmet will be amazing when they work out these couple of issues.

Quality

Happy with my helmets (one white, one neon yellow) in all respects. Wish I could buy another in neon orange.

High visibility

I am hard to miss when riding. Even though I only ride during daylight hours between my helmet lights, my 4 firefly lights, directional signals and brake lights I am very visible which is what I want.

Mostly works

I have had trouble charging. I sometimes have to remove the lights and change slots to get them to charge. It does eventually work. My biggest problem is keeping the lights and helmet synched.

Remote works well.

The remote works well but it should come with the device rather than be a separate purchase.

Great safety measure

I ride with the Lumos helmet and 2 fireflies on the seat post attachment. All work well and add to my visibility on the road

Good over winter helmet

If you get the available liner this is a good candidate for year round, winter riding. The lights are good.

Visibility

Lumos absolutely hit it out of the park with these lights. They're compact, rechargeable, offer multiple lighting patterns, synchronize seamlessly, and, most importantly, keep you highly visible. Reliable, easy to use, and incredibly effective. I couldn't be happier with them.

Safer, day and night

I get so many comments from drivers and cyclists that they love my helmet. I ride mountain roads that are shadowed and feel confident knowing that everyone else on the road can see me.

Works great.

Quick Qi charging. Strong magnets that reliably hold them in place so no worries about them popping off on rough terrain. Definitely seen by anyone but not too invasive. Gets their attention. My family feels I'm safer now.

Must have!

Absolutely easy to setup with the pairing device for the handlebar. I’ve had many people asking me where did I get the Lumos helmet from because of its high visibility. I'm would highly recommend E-bike helmet with MIPS.

Lumos ultra smart helmet

I’ve been using this helmet for a few months now, and I do really like it. The different tone for right and left turns is helpful. What would be nice is if there was a sound for breaking like a quick tone. I don’t even think the break part of my helmet actually works because when my wife is following me and I stop quick she doesn’t see a light on the helmet for stopping as it says there is. Other than that I’m happy with the helmet. I’ve used the winter liner on colder mornings too and that works great as well.

Pease of mind

My daughter is always in her helmet because she knows she has the best one in the neighborhood
