The Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet Gives Safety a Futuristic Twist

— October 18, 2014 — Autos
The Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet might look cool, but most importantly, it's safe. The bright blue illumination that lines the perimeter of the helmets help to increase visibility in only the best way possible. Utterly stylish, it will have people thinking of "TRON: Legacy" and the lightcycles that many people tried to replicate after the movie hit theaters.

What makes the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet particularly appealing is the fact that it comes in the form of a do it yourself kit. Currently seeking funds on Kickstarter, the kit permanently modifies existing helmets in an affordable way. Available in two versions, the Electron Kit and the Proton Kit, the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet can blink or glow, depending on the desire of the wearer. Powered by batteries, it lasts up to 13 hours in one go.

1. DIY Safety Gear - The popularity of the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet shows that consumers are interested in customizable safety gear and opens up opportunities for companies to offer similar DIY kits for other forms of protective equipment.
2. Smart Illuminated Wearables - The Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet showcases how illuminating wearable technology can improve safety while also looking stylish, suggesting potential for the development of other smart, illuminated wearable accessories.
3. Retro-futuristic Design - The popularity of the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet suggests a growing trend in retro-futuristic design, as seen in popular movies like TRON: Legacy, which could influence the design of other products and industries.
Industry Implications
1. Motorcycle Accessories - The Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet opens up opportunities for innovation in the motorcycle industry by introducing customizable and illuminated safety gear.
2. Sports Safety Gear - The popularity of the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet suggests potential for innovative illuminated safety gear in other sports and activities, such as cycling or skiing.
3. Entertainment Industry - The trend towards retro-futuristic design showcased by the Lightmode Motorcycle Helmet could inspire similarly styled products and even movie or TV set design in the entertainment industry.
