Outbound Lighting Blade Rear Tail Light
Product Details
The Outbound Lighting Blade Rear Tail Light is a category-defining cycling tail light engineered to look and perform like an automotive tail light rather than just another cheap plastic blinker. Designed, engineered, assembled, and shipped from Chicago, Illinois, the Blade brings genuine innovation to rider visibility with a unique blade-inspired aesthetic and intelligent lighting technology that makes cyclists visible when it matters most.
What sets the Blade apart is its dual-direction visibility approach. Incredible amber side lighting makes riders visible to vehicles approaching from alongside—one of the most critical and overlooked visibility scenarios on the road. A downward-projecting red light simultaneously illuminates the rider's legs as they move, creating a dynamic lit presence that dramatically increases visibility from a distance. Together, these two lighting elements create a 360-degree visibility system that passive blinkers simply cannot replicate.
Practicality and long-term ownership are built into every detail. The replaceable 18650 battery means riders can refresh the light years down the road with a simple torx tool and basic instructions, no need to return the unit for service. USB-C charging brings the Blade up to modern standards, simplifying cable collections and ensuring fast, reliable top-ups. A large, intuitive button and easy-to-read status lights make operation straightforward, because a tail light should be dependable, not complicated.
With up to 300 lumens peak output, runtime ranging from 8 to 120 hours depending on mode, and a clean quarter-turn seat post mount with shims for various post diameters, the Blade integrates seamlessly into any road, gravel, or commuting setup. Backed by a 3-year warranty and exceptional customer service, this is a tail light built to inspire confidence on every ride.
