I'm super impressed with your content quality! Very thorough, great pacing. Thanks for sharing your honest feedback on the Night Shift. It's fun watching my customers unbox and discover features. Ride safe out there!

Regarding the connect/disconnect issue you mentioned at the end, we encountered this more with iPhones, and have released a new app update to help fix this. Further, we are currently redesigning the auto-connect process to require less input from the user to pair. Stay tuned for an app update on the App Store and Google Play Store.

Your review seems the most true to life, you can see just how "cheap" it looks as with the advertisements it looks much more subtle and well made. You called out a few issues that can be a big deal that nobody else has mentioned, so hard to say if you had an isolated issue or everyone else is just staying quiet. I am still on the fence, I have an all black helmet and so this wouldn't look bad, especially for a Cyber Punk like theme, but if I want my communication system, any kind of camera, etc space on the helmet starts to be at a premium, and you dont want to ruin a very nice helmets ergonomics and aerodynamcs.

@matti8873 Жыл бұрын

Hello! I have had the lightmode for about 6 months or more now. I was registered for the Kickstarter so i was one of the first ones to get a hold of it. The quality is extremely nice! And the battery is long-lasting! But the strips have like this almost gel like feel, and the gel comes easily off sadly. So i have damaged the strips quite a bit from placing my helmet on the ground. But that's probably a user problem. Don't place the helmet sideways so something comes in contact with the strips! It get damaged easily. Thats the only bad thing about it, the strips are not so durable. Plus i live in a country where the weather is extremely rough. So it has surprised me that i haven't had any other problem than the strips getting damaged. But other than that extremely good! I have been a very happy customer! So i recommend buying this product (and it turns a lot of heads, haha). Amazing product If you have any other questions, ask away :)

Nice content! I'm hoping in the future they can offer a sheet of particular sizes. I have led lights that incorporate a brake light mode. ( They all turn red, when on the brakes) So I put a few LEDs up on the windscreen, and sanded the windscreen down, so it has a very bright, but diffused look. Gets a lot of attention even during they day. But if love to swap out from the point source light, LEDs, to the "full light" sheet, if they ever make/offer it.

@miguel360kmc Жыл бұрын

You get what you pay for! Having tried the cheap $10-$15 that are just 1 color regular LED on off modes I would pick this over them. Sure the cheap ones look nice at 1st but they don't last long you will be buying 2 sets a year depending on home riding you do. With all the options available on the nightshift kit the overall quality can't be to mad at it although it's overpriced bye around $100

One thing you lefted out thats actually a big deal. Is the free print pattern. You can download a printable replica of the light strips and try them on your helmet to see if they fit what they look like etc. If you go to the creators KZfaq channel he shows how to do it don't have a link right now I'll try to post 1 in the comments of this post

@RunPlayBack Жыл бұрын

I would agree that the price is high, but there is virtually no competition for a like-for-like product. They do have a 30-day return window if you're not satisfied with the product prior to install. This is the challenge for a niche product that is manufactured by a startup.

@dominator716 3 ай бұрын

I have been looking at these for a few years. As I do see they are quality. It's still pretty overpriced for what it is. $250 is crazy for this. I can see $100, maybe $150. This is almost as much as a helmet that the vast majority of riders use. I understand there is a lot that goes into the design and what not, but I can not see paying $250 for this. Instead of this, I took money and got a better helmet. I think it's wise to do the same. If you have money to burn, I guess it's worth it for the "bling" factor.

In my experience, I've told people to avoid buying these. The quality control on the Night Shift is absolutely fucking garbage. I've had THREE replacement strips sent to me under warranty, all of them failed in the exact same spot (the tail near where the cords connect to the strip). It's always the right strip for some reason as well, 250 dollars wasted on a shitty product.

You’ve made a fair and personal statement on how much you’re willing to pay without any negative comments. Personally I’d pay $50 but what it’s going for is way too much. I bought a cheaper one without any brand for USD5, the main difference is the battery pack, 3M stickers personally. Lightmode is free to charge what they want and obviously there’s a market willing to pay, so I hope they make lots of money- but it’s very pricey for what it is essentially. Consumers pay for what utility they receive and no they don’t care about the manufacturers cost and neither should they care cos it’s not their business
