  • Check out my new RGB kit: lightmodehelmet...
    This video is for every misinformed soul that would tell ME how my own creation is exactly the same as some cheapo knock-off. It's also for my loyal supporters who might not know all the differences between a fakemode and a real LightMode kit. If anyone ever tells you that you can buy LightMode kits cheaper, elsewhere, PLEASE send them this video (and DM me a screenshot on Instagram: @mr.lightmode).
    Q: Are LightMode kits water resistant?
    A: Yes.
    Q: Will it work with my Icon, Shoei, HJC, etc.?
    A: Yes, any motorcycle helmet.
    Q: What colors can I get these in.
    A: From brightest to least bright: Aqua, white, green, blue, purple, red. Yellow and pink available only with the Proton S Kits.
    Q: Can you ship to X country?
    A: Yes, we ship worldwide. Free shipping to USA and Canada.

      I guess there's a market for it, but yeah, I was going to get one for riding an EUC at night - but it costs 3 times as much as my helmet so that would be pretty silly of me. I appreciate the video and won't buy a knockoff from a scummy copycat, but this is $312 and things like the multicolor and animation are just overengineering to the nth degree. I guess it'd make sense if I used a $1500 helmet while riding my $80,000 bike around.

Doing this also hurts the drop shipper's credibility. If they get enough chargeback claims, they can get shut down. Highly reccomend you do it to prevent others from getting tricked.

    I hear people saying this is merely a "look cool" product etc. That is completely not the case go look at the numbers of how many die in motorcycle accidents that were hit by someone driving a normal vehicle that "just didn't see them". This product is important because it helps you be seen while driving a motorcycle and therefore it most likely increases your safety level by a huge margin. The fact is motorcycles can be hard to see so anything that increases the lights on a motorcycle is an excellent safety feature already. And given the fact that your head is the highest thing while on a bike it is the best place to put light to be seen. This product is both genius and important and all you people ragging on this guy are just jealous haters all day. Because if you have ever consistently bought chinese knockoffs online then you should know that the quality levels go way down when it comes to many products. With many products the cheap versions simply DO NOT LAST. And don't tell me that you wouldn't be pissed off in this guy's shoes! I know I would!

I don’t think he CAN lower the price without losing money. He’s selling in a niche market and can’t produce these at a volume where he’s dealing with component manufacturers.

    @rubberonasphalt 3 роки тому +1

    This is my honest take: Fakes will still win customers. The "waterproofing" can be solved with a hot glue gun or glue, creating decent seals on most parts. Making gaskets for the battery pack can be done on the cheap. The loose cabling can be managed by tucking it inside the helmet, under the padding. And the battery pack can be stuck on with 3M tape you buy from your local store, or some people have at home already. Its a shame its this way, but fancy packaging when packaging is not what youré putting on your helmet, won't convince most people on a budget to buy.
    Even if it only lasts 6 months of use, longer if people know what they're doing, its still worth the fraction of the price. You could have at least showed the LED differences (if there was any)

    I really appreciate how much thought you put in to the research and design.
    As a customer you really are getting more then what you pay for, as the average person does not think about how it was put together. All the steps to prevent water intrusion, corrosion, even the mount that can hold the helmet up.
    The controller is sealed in every possible spot, even the cables. I honestly think if you wanted to you can dunk the thing in water and it would work under water and not have an issue at all.

If they just made a lower quality, cheaper alternative but didn't use his media it wouldn't be so bad and I probably would consider buying it. I think if he just ship the manufacturing to some developing country to create jobs and keep the price down it'd be awesome for everyone. 130 bucks for lights is kind of steep and like you said anything between 50-80 bucks I wouldn't even consider the 10 stuff. I have a knock off sena 10S and it survived 2 accidents with one high speed. I paid about 100$ compare to 300$. Same range and waterproof and can connect to any other Bluetooth with similar if not same sound quality. I have a SENA upad as a gift and it is definitely better but it's not 250$ better and I just need something that can play music and give directions.

      Drop shipping is a supply chain management method in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers the customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer, another retailer, or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail business, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price, but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer. Now tell ME who MANUFACTURES THESE SO CALLED DROP SHIPMENTS? OR ARE THEY DROP SHIPPING NOTHING>> YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PRODUCT TO BE CALLLED A MANUFACTURER. IF NOT YOU JUST A RESELLER...

    I like your efforts, quality, and your nightshift itself. Needed in my thinking: a flatter connection instead of two protruding looping wires. There is simply too much protrusion happening affecting daytime appearance and too vulnerable in a crash. Suggestion: a slimmer but longer slightly flexible or curved module so it wraps at bottom of the back of the helmet. Less obtrusive and most wipeouts are not at the neck, unlike the front, back and side crashes on a helmet. $249 may be too much of a hit to ones budget, especially if it’s destroyed in a wipeout. I’ll keep an eye out for your future products, it is a beauty for that 2-4 hour night visibility ride home.
