A thought just hit me, as I'm currently working with LEDs for some custom blinkers. Does anyone know if there's any laws on the books about LEDs on helmets? Not to be 'showie' but rather as a safety feature, like a blinking red in the back perhaps? I remember reading something about some company making something similar, but I'm wondering if I couldn't just grab a cheap helmet and experiment/road test? ???

Thats kinda funny!
wow that person had too much time on their hands. I have also seen that Gmax helmets have rear led lights but have heard the helmets fall apart. you can also get a wind activated LED light from New Enough for like 10 bucks that sticks to your helmet.

Thats actually kinda cool. Makes me wanna try something similar in my riding jacket.... but I already have too many projects goin on right now.
I guess the LEDs in/on helmets has been done, I like the Akuma above, I just don't want to drop that kinda $$ for a new helmet *just* for LEDs on it.
