Abstract: A motorcycle safety helmet shell with one or more light emitting diodes molded or embedded therein. The motorcycle helmet shell is designed and arranged in a manner to provide visual recognition and/or identification of the wearer. The LED safety lighting system may be powered by a battery, or any other electrochemical device, i.e., dry cell or lithium-ion battery combination, mounted within or without the helmet shell; and may be manually and/or automatically activated. One or more lenses may cover one or more of the light emitting diodes.

Abstract: A safety helmet with molded and imbedded LED in its shell, designed and arranged in a manner to provide visual recognition and/or identification of the wearer in an unsafe, hazardous or hostile environment. The helmet is intended for recreational (i.e., cyclist, hikers, cave explorers, etc), professional (i.e., firefighters, special police operations, underground infrastructure tasks, etc.) and military operations. The LED safety lighting system may be powered by either AA, AAA, LR2032, 9-Volt, or any other electrochemical device, i.e., dry cell or lithium-ion battery combination, mounted within or without the helmet shell; and may be manually and/or automatically activated.
