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.
Much appreciated!
That's awesome, I figured some updates were being pushed out. So many possibilities. Keep up the great work!
I love these lights but what if I want to commit to the tron look? 😂
I want the whole helmet to look like it's pulled from tron lol, not overboard but appropriately covered in lights
It seems that delivery time is OUTRAGEOUS though. It's keeping me from even considering it...
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.
It would be awesome to do a review after 6 months or a year. Just to check durability.
I gave a like. Nice content
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 :)
True same things is happening to my friends nightshift who I bought for earlier this year
Does come with 1 yr warranty so I'm going through customer service rn
I e had the same Evo kit from Lightmode for over 3 seasons. So, they’re made pretty good.
I would like to add that it's true the gel on the strips is not sure durable. If you ever ride on the highway, the small pebbles flung by cars will slowly take chunks out of the gel until it reachs the electrical hardware and the lights stop working
I just bought mine, been looking at it since it came out. Finally said Phuk it and got it!
I needed something like these bad while night riding on onyx.. Biggest fear was always getting hit by late night drunk drivers
Yeah this would definitely make you stand out. It probably won't make bad drivers do dumb things but it would at least wake them up a little.
Bro that's fucking amazing!!!! Grettings from Mexico
Greetings! Thanks for watching!
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
Great points and I agree!
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.
Does anyone know if they fixed the paring issues mentioned at the end of the video?
Do you know if these work on dirt bike style helmets?
Does it interfere with a Bluetooth communicator ?
Did you as the rider have issues with the light interfaring with your visibility. Eg while it's solid did it have a glow that interfared with your vision or while it was flashing did it catch your peripherals? Anything along those lines??
Nope not at all.
Nope
What helmet is that? new to the whole scene learning, thinking about buying an onyx! Thanks in advance! :)

Wave would be my favorite if it changed colors like the spectrum setting.
Looks nice, but the tech has to get smaller, because that big brick added to the back of the helmet is ridiculous. Needs to be wayyyy smaller.
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 RUclips 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
Nice! I had no idea they had a printable template. That's helpful!
Will this fit the Icon Airflite Peacekeeper helmet?
Yeah it'll fit any helmet.
Isn't that an Airflite right in the thumbnail for this vid, next to the Tron guy??
how you oing?, beautiful ~
Agreed to price demostracións, it just like buying a very good camera with night vision for security and safety, like he said too high price for regular riders,
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.
@RunPlayBack I got one how long does delivery take though it real doesn't tell you and from looking around some wait weeks and others months .
@@LogicalMOG on the website under shipping it says April 19 lightmodehelmets.com/products/night-shift
I wonder if the connection issue is the same using an droid device?
Good question, I'll try it with my Android device. The pairing and unpairing is the only annoying thing when using it with iOS.
I wouldn't want continuous BT pairing with a device that doesn't require BT to continue functioning. Phone battery preservation is my priority. Perhaps you can agree that the option to unpair would be nice to have for some people.
(Which brings us back to wondering why the standalone 1.5v/3.0v battery-driven products like this weren't simply better constructed.)
Question, so if its bluetooth connected and you have bluetooth speakers in your helmet. You cant run both lights and your speakers
hmm, a variety of 'helmet light strips' on aliexpress selling from $15... maybe I'll buy a helmet and lights just to walk around in
You should check out Light Mode's video on comparing the cheap AliExpress rip-offs (which tend to use LightMode's promotional material) to their products.
I just use a $5 LED strip wrapped around a backpack. Ha
That'll work too!
Does it work for modular helmets?
I would guess no, the lights wrap around to the front chin area. They are designed for full face helmets. Unless you can figure out a different mounting position to avoid the chin mechanism.
Yes it does! He shows it on his yt channel and u can check out his website.
Are you able to see out of that helmet at night? It looks pretty dark.
Yeah its not too bad. It's a smoke visor.
Damn, just changing colors would had been cool...
Just bought one better to be seen, too many drivers blind to us bikers, no buyers remorse
Agreed, I'm all about being as visible as possible at night!
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 $250 for this. Instead of this, I took money and got a better helmet. I think it's wise to do the same. If you have money to burn, I guess it's worth it for the "bling" factor.
Waisted of money 250$ . Maximum price 50$ ok but 250$ too much. Crazy price
Not digging the design it’s not really like Tron Legacy
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.
... putting tech on retro kinda defeats the whole point.
I hear ya. But my whole thing is about "defeating the whole point". But that's just me. Others like to do what everyone else does.
@@RunPlayBack funny how everybody's doing retro...but I get your point.
Wait you dont get the helmet!?
$250 is a bit much their awsome lights but it seems like it should be in the $100 range 😅im sure there's something im not seeing but man its expensive
Pricey yes. I just haven't seen lights with those capabilities anywhere else.
Honestly the sad thing is is that he’s kinda got a monopoly on the market currently, so he can charge fuckin $250. I think at around $100 I’d be down for it, but at that price I can literally buy one of the new copies that have copied his controllers shape and just add a new chip if I REALLY wanted the animations
A bit too pricey tbqh
I wouldn't pay more than $20 for this.
I wouldn't pay more than 2 cents for this comment.
@@RunPlayBack That's a little to low. The creator of this device needs to at least break even. It surely cost him at least 10-15 max dollars total from all the parts. Manufacturers in China give huge discounts when people order in bulk to mass produce.
In reality the bulk orders you're referring to are in the 1000s or 10,000s . I guess you also don't charge for labor, stocking inventory, and other logistics..
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
@@kai5703until the $50 light strip as function and quality as good as the lightmode unit, I'm willing to pay for the more expensive one, but you have your own reason to choose the cheaper one ✌️
hehe, next time you do NOT have to look at camera (we cant see your face anyway) and instead show what you are actually reviewing.
Isn't that what I was doing? What scene are you referencing?
@@RunPlayBack eg @8:44 , but nearly all of animation you look into camera, and yes then you turn head a bit random.
Its no biggy, I just thought it was a missed oppotunity to show whole animation viewed from side ie. the whole cycle running thorugh the whole strip.
@@ibrenecario7357 ok that's fair, so for this video it was filmed linear so installation was shot first then the demo. Once the adhesive is on the helmet, its super difficult to remove. I hear ya though.
Waaaaaay overpriced!!! With the tech that's out, it costs about $15 to make...
Lower the price by $150 and I'd buy one..
I'll just wait till a competitor sells a better one for half the price.
And they don't work properly on a modular helmet.
Why did u wait 2 months for it?
It was backorder due to supply chain delays.
@@RunPlayBack was asking cuz i paid for mine yestarday, i dont wanna wait 2 months xD
@@jeanmorales6159 under the product shipping tab on the NightShift page it says it'll ship mid November
Mine broke within 2 months due to crappy controller was emailed loads of spill saying try new leads etc then it was the controller needing to reset all of which was bollocks the controller simply failed and LightMode didn’t, and didn’t wanna replace….. save your money
I'm sorry to hear that. However, they did replace my left strip light free of charge when it started malfunctioning. That was my personal experience, I can't speak for others though.
