Abstract: For improved visibility of an individual wearing a helmet to which a personal headlamp is attached by an adjustable band, a flexible strip carrying a series of light-emitting devices and/or reflectors is removably attached to the adjustable band by means of connectors which are adjustably movable along at least a portion of the length of the band. The light-emitting devices are supplied with power from the same electrochemical power source that operates the headlamp but controlled independently of the headlamp.
