Removable helmet light system

Abstract

A light system that attaches to a helmet. The light is designed to be removable. The system has a forward head light that enables a rider to illuminate in whatever direction the rider's head is looking. It has a translucent shell. In one embodiment, the shell is colored red. Light from the headlamp is allowed to leak through the rear of the shell, which gives the appearance of a taillight. In a second embodiment, the device has a forward headlamp and a second bulb that illuminates the rear shell. In a modification of this embodiment, the rear lamp has two filaments. One filament remains on all the time and acts as a taillight. The other filament is activated by the brake handle of the vehicle. In this way, it acts as a brake light, further warning other riders that the vehicle is slowing.
