IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Anchorage, Alaska – Two years and six months after Anchorage, Alaska based Helmetlight Inc. received their first U.S. Patent for the LEAD-DOG Helmet Light, the pursuit of a Canadian Patent has finally been granted.  The Canadian patent has been long in coming reports the president of Helmetlight Inc., Bill Fischer.  Both he and vice president Steve Karcz proclaimed "persistence, demonstrating, and proving, that the LEAD-DOG Helmet Light is truly the most viable helmet mounted light on the market".  The Canadian Commissioner of Patents has now acknowledged the claims of the LEAD-DOG Helmet Light and granted "the exclusive right, privilege and liberty of making, constructing and using the invention".

Look, See, and be Seen.  That’s the reasoning behind Helmetlight Inc's patented LEAD-DOG Helmet Light.  This new, innovative product brings a new level of safety to night- time recreational riders of ATV’s, motorcycles and snowmobiles.  Safety minded operators want to be seen and this new helmet light fulfills that requirement.

The LEAD-DOG Helmet Light is a helmet-mounted halogen spot, tail and brake light.  Because it’s mounted on the helmet, the light shines where you are looking, not just where your machine is pointing.  That’s a marked improvement for riders searching for trail markers, signs and hazards that can come out of nowhere.  You’ll be seen by other riders at greater distances, from all angles, and on uneven terrain from up to a mile away from the glowing red housing.  The integrated brake light lets other riders behind you know your intentions.

The LEAD-DOG Helmet Light works for all 12-volt systems, AC or DC.  It’s lightweight (8 ounces) because it operates off the vehicles own electrical system or battery.  No bulky battery packs. 

Its compact sizes allows storage in a coat pocket and it is attached to the helmet with a proven Velcro system.  The average handyman can easily install the LEAD-DOG Helmet Light in an hour using ordinary hand tools.  It's wired into the existing headlight and brake system with a simple connection of three wires.

Already tested during Alaska’s grueling dark winters, this rugged light is a must have for serious riders.  Retail price is $ 79.95us
