Helmet Mounted Light

Citroen introduced the first swiveling car headlights when they mated the DS with a Maserati, by linking the steering wheel to the lights you see around the corners as you turned into them. Ultimately this feature proved to be an irrelevance to the buying public and was not adopted by the motoring industry. However, mountain-bikers immediately recognized the benefits of the Citroen system and it evolved into helmet mounted lights.

A helmet mounted light can complement your main light resulting in illumination of the trail in the direction of the bike as well as where you are looking. Using a small helmet light together with either a HID or Halogen main light greatly improves visibility especially on wooded or rocky singletrack. A Helmet light is also very useful for those times when you need a trailside repair or are searching for the mobile phone or the constantly ‘lost glove’.
