Abstract
An illuminated safety helmet including a protective core and a first layer disposed on the protective core. The first layer is a substrate or an impact resistant shell. A plurality of light emitting diodes and traces for electrically connecting the light emitting diodes are disposed on the substrate or impact resistant shell. As such, when the substrate or impact resistant shell is disposed on the core, the light emitting diodes are automatically disposed around the protective core. The illuminated safety helmet also includes control circuitry for illuminating the light emitting diodes and a power source for powering the control circuitry and the light emitting diodes.
