About Lumos
Lumos is a company with a simple mission: we keep people who choose to ride on the road safe by keeping them visible and stand out!
Started out from our dorm rooms in Harvard, we wanted to make a positive impact in the world! How did we accomplish this? By designing sophisticated smart products for the everyday cyclist's needs.
In 2015, we launched the first Lumos helmet on Kickstarter. A bicycle helmet with integrated front and back lights, turn signals, and brake lights. A revolutionary idea that raised over $800,000 USD, making it still the largest crowdfunded bike helmet on the platform to date. It has since been featured on Forbes, Fast Company, The BBC, and CNN. It was named “The Helmet That Every Bike Commuter Needs” by Slate Magazine, and at the end of last year, it was also named as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things and TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2018. The Kickstart is the first and only helmet which is sold in over 300 Apple Stores worldwide.
Join us if you want to be part of an exciting startup that’s producing products to keep cyclists safe!
