have to agree with Jack
got rear ended about 9 years ago and was off the bike for 7 months.
I'm a big mirror use advocate but the guy changed lanes and hit me.
It's possible a helmet light would have prevented the whole thing.
It's a higher percentage than you realize.
I'm one of many early investors in this project and have waited some time for this product to release but glad testing and more modifications have and are still being done to improve the unit.
There is one made in france I beleive, forgot the name but it was able to be mounted on the pillion or yours if riding alone. it was proven but not ditributed here yet.

Being a firm believer in making yourself as visible as possible (unlike some of the non-believers in this thread), I've had my eye on this product as well. However, I didn't invest because I also believe in having a final product to evaluate. I was particularly concerned about dialing in the sensitivity and the weight, so it's good to see that these issues may have been successfully addressed and that it's finally about to come to market.
Looking forward to seeing your video and hearing your thoughts on it.
I don't ride often at night. Too many deer around the rural setting in which I live. If I am forced to, I have a GMAX helmet that has a light built into the back. It can be left on, blink, or be connected to a wireless sending unit that can be purchased. Since I don't ride in the nighttime often, if I do I just leave it solid or blinking to make myself more visible to others.
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note about the helmet light...
I have used them for years, both my wife and I have them on our helmets, they are worth every penny
they get every ones attention behind you. I have been flagged over by many folks wanting to know where I got them.
G MAX also has them built into their helmets and they also work great.
so here is a big Thumbs up from me...
Ride Safe

PS... Don't forget EVERYTHING is on sale here at MotorcycleDaves.
Also would like to know what you are using Dave. I’m a big proponent of “riding ugly” with as much hi vis clashing color as possible but a helmet light would be a nice add although I have been known to put a flashing bike light on my helmet.
If you have an iPhone we can do a face time and I will show it to you

After seeing this thread I started doing some research. Low and behold I discovered that there were a half dozen or more companies making these helmet lights. Somebody needs to do a comparison test.
We are partial of course but check out the Nolan ESS sytems looks interesting we will be getting one for the wifes helmet
Dave
$110 list price (available for $70 or so)... says its designed exclusively for certain Nolan helmets ... do you know if it fits other helmets okay?

No I do not, but the way it mounts with the shims it might be something to look at. Since we have the nolan intercoms we have to get the ESS multi. which is the one I beleive many of us would need. Hope this helps
Dave
Just looked up the ESS Multi the prodcut description mentioned any brand helmet FYi
Dave
Sure does seem that way;

Now, where to get them at the best price....?
Pete
Did an internet search found it for about $70.00 I have not checked Nolans website though but I believe it was more there. Hope this helps

For me personally I have 6 different helmets depending on weather, mood, etc. The most I'll do is a removable helmet cam. For additional safety I have reflector tape on the helmets, bike and riding gear. As well I got into the habit of tapping the brakes for the rear and wiggling the front end to affect the headlight pattern for the front if necessary.
Just a quick update from the Brake Free team; they've pushed out the delivery once again, to September 2019.
It's definitely a disappointment, as I was really looking forward to getting it on my helmet, but once again, the choice is to either b**** and moan, or accept that the team involved is doing their best, and the path they're laying down is realistic and hopefully the last of the delays. Having a reasonably structured vehicle like Indiegogo helps to alleviate the "they just took our money and blew it" fear one might have on one's own.
We'll see if they're on track still in next month's update.
