Comparing ColorAlti 3 Lights

There are currently three light options available for ColorAlti 3: FlexiLight 3, StickyLight 3, and RigidLight 3. What we recommend depends on a variety of factors and we are always glad to discuss individual cases if you e-mail or call us. Below is an image of the lights along with a US quarter for size reference.

This is a flexible gooseneck light with 4-LEDs designed primarily for open-face helmets, though it can absolutely be used in closed-face helmets as well.

Pros: the light stays in place when the visor is open (under canopy) for closed-face helmets; the housing can be bent into preferred shape; compact in design; the only option for open-face helmets.

Cons: does not stay in place as easily as the other options without some reinforcement; fewer LEDs.

These flexible circuit boards that adhere to the visor of a closed-face helmet are our most popular light option. They feature ten LEDs designed to be placed in the peripheral of a jumper’s right eye.

Pros: is always in the exact same location; great light coverage with minimal visual invasiveness (the light is about as wide as the frame of most glasses).

Cons: is not present when the visor is up under canopy; disposable and cannot be transferred to a different visor; important to get location exactly right when placing.

RigidLight 3 is very similar to StickyLight 3 in function, but is mounted on the visor using screws and nuts rather than an adhesive. It also features ten LEDs and is designed to be placed in the peripheral of a jumper’s right eye.

Pros: is always in the exact same location; great light coverage and most compact design of all lights; can be transferred to other visors.

Cons: visor must be drilled into; important to get location exactly right when placing; not visible when visor is up under canopy.
