Kickstarter project wants to turn your bicycle helmet into something from 'Tron' Aug 1st 2013, 19:17, by Nick Mediati Electroluminescense isn't new—hobbyists have toyed with the technology for a while, making everyday objects look like they came straight out of Tron. Paul Schnieder wants to use it to help make cycling at night a little less dangerous. Paul's Electroluminescent Helmet Kit, currently on Kickstarter, is based on a simple concept: It adds electroluminescent (EL) strips to the sides and back of motorcycle and bicycle helmets. The result not only gives your helmet that oh-so-hip sci-fi aesthetic, but it can also help increase your visibility as you ride around at night, possibly preventing you from getting hit by a car.
