Established in 2008, SPIRIT (HK) Sports Co., Ltd. is a specialized helmet manufacturer in China providing comprehensive OEM & ODM services. Our team offers over 18 years of experience serving international brands, backed by a factory with more than 20 years in sports equipment manufacturing.
We develop a wide range of safety helmets—including models for cycling, skiing, motorcycling, and climbing—all engineered to meet major international safety standards such as CE, CPSC, ASTM, and AS/NZS.
As an ISO9001 certified company, we are committed to integrity, quality, and customer satisfaction. We leverage our strong R&D capabilities and professional technical team to deliver the safest protection products to a global market, with primary exports to North America, Europe, Australia, and other regions.
The OEM process for an led helmet is more complex than for a traditional helmet, requiring deep collaboration between the brand and a technically proficient manufacturer. The process at SPIRIT begins with a detailed technical consultation to define the desired features: brightness, battery size, charging method, and smart functions like turn signals. Our R&D team then engineers the electronic "guts" and designs how they will be integrated into the helmet's structure without compromising safety. We create a non-functional "looks-like" prototype for aesthetic approval, followed by a fully functional prototype for electronic and safety testing in our lab. Once the design is validated and approved, we move to production, which includes specialized assembly and quality control steps for the electronic components. Finally, we manage the entire certification process, ensuring the led helmet is compliant with all relevant safety and electronics standards for your target market.
A reliable rechargeable system in an led helmet depends on three things: a high-quality battery, a modern charging interface, and a smart circuit design. At SPIRIT, we use high-quality Lithium-ion (Li-ion) or Lithium-polymer (Li-Po) batteries from reputable suppliers that are tested for safety and cycle life. For the charging interface, we strongly recommend and use the USB-C standard. It is more robust and easier for consumers to use than the older Micro USB standard. Finally, the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is designed with protective circuits to prevent overcharging, over-discharging, and short circuits, which extends the battery's lifespan and ensures safety. A low-battery indicator is also a crucial feature that we integrate. By focusing on these three key areas, we build a reliable and user-friendly rechargeable led helmet.
In the rapidly advancing market of smart and high-visibility headwear, your choice of manufacturing partner is critical. You need a partner who is not just an assembler, but a true expert in both traditional helmet safety and modern electronics integration. SPIRIT is that partner. With nearly two decades of manufacturing experience and a dedicated R&D team of mechanical and electronics engineers, we provide a seamless, end-to-end solution for your led helmet project. From initial concept and circuit design to in-house impact and electronics testing, we manage every step to ensure your final product is innovative, reliable, and fully certified. We speak the language of lumens, IP ratings, and CPSC standards. Partner with SPIRIT to develop a cutting-edge led helmet that will set your brand apart and provide a new level of active safety for your customers.
When selecting a manufacturer for your smart or led helmet brand, it is crucial to find a partner with proven expertise in both helmet engineering and electronics integration. A factory that only understands plastic molding may not be equipped to handle the complexities of circuit boards, battery safety, and software. Look for a partner like SPIRIT who can demonstrate a holistic approach. They should have an R&D team with both mechanical and electronics engineers who collaborate on the design. Ask about their quality control process for electronics—do they test components upon arrival and perform full functional checks on every finished unit? Finally, inquire about their experience with relevant certifications for both impact (CPSC/CE) and electronics (FCC/RoHS). Choosing a manufacturer who has mastered this complex intersection of disciplines is the key to launching a reliable and successful led helmet.
An integrated led helmet offers three main advantages. First, safety through height and visibility: the lights are positioned at the rider's highest point, making them far more visible in traffic than seat-post or handlebar-mounted lights. Second, convenience: the lighting is part of the essential gear you never leave behind, with no extra items to mount or forget. Third, superior design: integrated systems, like those from SPIRIT, offer a cleaner aesthetic and often include advanced features like 360-degree visibility, turn signals, and automatic brake lights that are impossible to achieve with separate units.
An led helmet must meet two sets of standards. First and foremost, it must pass the relevant impact safety certifications for its intended use, such as CPSC 1203 for bicycles in the US or CE EN 1078 in Europe. The integration of electronics cannot compromise this in any way. Second, the electronic components themselves should adhere to standards for safety and durability, such as CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance, and have an IP (Ingress Protection) rating for water resistance. SPIRIT ensures all helmets meet both impact and electronic standards.
Look for a balance of brightness (measured in lumens), battery life, and functionality. A quality led helmet should have bright front (white) and rear (red) lights, multiple modes (e.g., solid, flashing), and a battery life that supports a week of typical commuting. A USB-C charging port is the modern standard for convenience. Advanced features to consider include integrated turn signals, automatic brake lights activated by an accelerometer, and a high IP rating (like IPX4 or higher) for weather resistance.
The OEM process for an led helmet at SPIRIT is a highly technical collaboration. It begins with your desired features and design. Our R&D team then engineers the integration of the battery, LEDs, wiring, and control board, ensuring the electronics are protected and do not create weak points in the helmet's structure. We create prototypes for testing both electronic function and impact safety in our in-house lab. Once the design is perfected, we manage the entire production, quality control, and certification process for both the helmet and its electronic components.
Battery life varies based on the brightness and mode, but a well-designed led helmet should offer between 4 to 12 hours of use on a single charge. Flashing modes typically consume less power and offer the longest run times. The most common and convenient charging method is via a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery with a standard USB-C port, allowing riders to charge it easily with the same cable they use for their phone or computer.
Yes. This is where smart helmet technology truly shines. By incorporating an accelerometer, an led helmet can detect when the rider is slowing down and automatically activate a bright brake light. Turn signals are typically controlled via a small, wireless remote that can be mounted on the handlebars, allowing the rider to signal their intentions without taking their hands off the bars. SPIRIT has the R&D capability to develop and integrate these advanced smart features for our OEM partners.
