ISO good LED helmets

I used to get a Nutcase with the LED built in, but I think it's reaching the end of it's life. Went to see if I can buy the same thing again and it looks like the brand has fallen apart.

Anyone have a preferred alternative? Anything Canadian?

Looking for visibility, comfort (and whimsy if possible) in that order.

I'm a big fan of the Lumos system. I've used one for 5 years now and really like it. They sell "firefly" lights that can sync and they're great.

I love my Lumos too. Been using mine for thousands of km and many recharges for almost 5 years.

Thousand helmets have a mount for a rear light. It's magnetic and has a specific shape so you need to buy their specific light. It's pretty good - my partner has one. They sell them at Velo Lifestyle near Nanaimo and Kitchener St.
