Off-road enthusiasts and motorcycle riders visiting the SEMA Show this week can view NiteRider's new line of helmet-mounted lighting systems. The products, designed for better visibility around turns, feature wireless controls to help riders track hazards beyond their fixed bike headlights.
Why it matters
Local riders navigating desert terrain face unique visibility challenges after dark, where fixed motorcycle lights often fail to illuminate upcoming hazards. These helmet-mounted systems aim to improve reaction times by directing light specifically where the rider is looking.
The new Lumina series offers maximum outputs ranging from 950 lumens for the 140g Micro-Moto up to 2,000 lumens for the Dual-Moto 2000. Battery life varies by model, spanning from 3 hours on high-intensity units to 5 hours for the micro-model.
