ABSTRACT:
The lighted helmet apparatus provides several features that aid both the wearer and those behind the wearer. The turn signals of the helmet are importantly arrow-shaped to be easily identified by following traffic, and appropriately located on left and right sides of the helmet. The running lights of the helmet importantly provide the elevated identification of operation to following motorists. The brake lights of the helmet importantly provide easily and centrally recognized braking of the wearer. The helmet wearer is reminded of turn signal functions by the front mounted signal reminders so that turn signals are not inadvertently left on, which is often the case in motorcycle and other such vehicular operation. Flush mounting of the individual lights within the helmet are an especially attractive feature and also one that prevents damage to the lights. The Bluetooth™ inclusion in the apparatus is a further advantage.
