Technology
is growing and so is creativity. Modern technology has resulted to migration
from analogue to digital and from manual to electronic with respect to a wide
range of activities and dimensions. With all these components combined; growth,
creativity and migration, high tech gadgets are invented, and among them is the
Lumos helmet gadget. This
helmet is definitely a next generation bicycle helmet as it has incredible
features, just unbelievable.
This
mind-blowing invention is a work of art, a mastering of high technology and a
genius mind behind it, combined. This combination resulted in the real deal; a
masterpiece of high tech-art. Some of the features designed to distinguish this
masterpiece include the following;
- Integrated lights
- Turn signal lights
- Automatic brake lights
- Water resistance
- Rechargeable battery
The
automatic brake light is located at the back of the helmet and is triangle-like
in shape to indicate stopping (Δ). The turn signals, on the other hand, are
located on either side of the helmet such that when turning left, the light
signal on the left side will start to flash to indicate a turn in that
direction (<). Same applies for the right signal and turn respectively
(>). The front light is mainly used for visibility and is aligned along the
edge.
The
brake light when flashed emits a 16 super bright LED while the turn signals at
the side emit a 15 super bright LED each when flashed. The front light uses a
14 super bright LED. These lights are controlled by a small wireless remote
control which has a 6-months battery life. The battery used to run this remote
is a coin cell, which is replaceable. This helmet also has a 3 axis
accelerometer just above the brake lights indicators and a battery under it.
The
Lumos helmet gadget is a kick-starter
project with the highest success rate so far, and due to its efficiency in
increasing visibility and communication between motorists while in traffic, it
is taking over the world by storm.
