Abstract: A cover for helmets, hardhats, caps and other gear worn on the head, (collectively called headgear) with electro-luminescent (EL) lighted wire/s array or a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED's) attached to the cover to provide enhanced visibility and safety for the wearer at night or in dark areas. The cover can be made of the EL wire/s itself, the LED connecting wires, fabric, expandable cloth, netting, mesh, latex, silicon, other expandable materials and hard or pliable plastic. The cover can be temporarily attached to headgear by means of an elastic or rubber band, drawstring, clips, wire or Velcro and/or permanently attached with adhesives. Batteries attached to the headgear cover power the EL light wire/s and/or LED's. The EL wire/s and/or LED's are attached to the headgear cover by cloth thread, clear thread, plastic thread, fishing line, glue, staples, clips, Velcro, zip ties, twist ties or other device.
