Busch and Muller Topfire cycle helmet LED Lights
Busch and Muller Topfire cycle helmet LED Lights. Great idea, let down by the fitting of the LED's to the helmet. Basically the adhesive tabs supplied with the product are not up to the job, so if you purchase factor in the cost of finding a suitable product to glue or affix the LED's to your helmet. Plus the LED's are quite directional, it's shame they don't have 180 degree cover.

I think it's more expensive than it should be - and not sufficiently weatherproof.
Mine is actually under my saddle - the led's tied to the rails, the switch under the nose. Flashing only lights, I reckon 4 candela is likely, although I haven't measured it - Road legal...
The bike it's on is a fair weather machine, so the weather resistance isn't too problematic...

A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

I asked B&M - they reckon about 4 Candela tops...
So might not quite be bright enough to be a compliant light...
