If I didn't already have a spoiler on my helmet, I might just buy one of these... neat idea!

How heavy is this product. Wondering if the LED's are bright enough to be notice by cagers during the night on the highway with regular street lights.

I have one of those on my helmet, it's not real bright, but visible on dark side roads, not so much on the hwy. Kinda gimmicky. Everyone wants to know what the heck I have on the top of my helmet.

I'm sure (like every thing else) these things will get smaller and more efficient so
that they will more practical and brighter.

It is a good idea for improving visibility, and thanks kdan for the report,

However it sounds like retro-reflective tape is still the way to go.

I can't imagine that, if you wanted to draw attention to yourself in this manner,
how you could do better with this than a clip-on battery powered LED flasher
available in any Walmart bicycle isle...
