Outbound Lighting

We are a team of engineering professionals, bringing our many years of experience in the automotive and LED lighting industries to the bike world. Pouring years of automotive lighting knowledge into developing the best bicycle lights no matter what kind of riding you are doing. After being frustrated with existing lights on the market being nothing but flashlights strapped to handlebars. No one was making a true headlight for our bikes.

Bicycle lights feel like they should be pretty simple. Make something that lasts a long time, lets you see the trail well, can handle a crash or two, and simple to put on and off. Yet when we tried to find this years ago, we couldn’t find anything that did it all. So we set out to design our own light using our years of automotive lighting experience to focus on what really matter, the beam pattern, and then made sure everything else was up to snuff.

Our days, weeks and months are spent in dark rooms designing brilliant lights. When we’re not obsessively tweaking beam patterns, using Lucidshape™, we are developing our custom hard parts and performing thermal analysis with Solidworks™, or laying out and verifying our driver designs with the help of Eagle™.

All this geeking out culminates in our new 7200+ sqft Chicago headquarters, where every Outbound light is hand-built with the help of robotic automation, and put through rigorous quality control checks.

We firmly believe in building quality products that exceed expectations because in the long run, that is how a successful business is built.

The first time you ride with Outbound Lighting, you will see the difference, guaranteed.
