Blade Rear Tail Light

Just recieved. Allot smaller and brighter than I thought it would be. Both good in my situation ( fat tire bike) will get a headlight next .

I have a few tail lights and most of these fall into the narrow focus of the beam being directed to the rear but little fall off to the sides. For the safety on the road, I recently switched to the Garmin Varia, radar giving me updates when a car approaches, but the side lighting was little and eventually looked for another light.
I have been using Outbound lights on my bikes for the last few years and when this tail light was released, I was very intersted in the design being a focus on the side visibility. From opening the box to the install, it's a very quality experience, the light feels solid and the clear plastic lens has some thickness (haven't tested this yet). Charging was quick, the modes work well, I might wanted to see a mode 1 that added flashing for night riding like the day time mode, but including the bottom lighting. Speaking of lighting, this light has the beam that is flowing from the rear and sides, but for all of the modes except one, also a lower red light. Allows for the rider to be more seen as the bike is illuminated.
I only took the llight on a few rides so far but it's very bright and thanks to keeping with the Garmin mount, easily swaped out with my current light mounts. The only downside I would say is the weight for some riders, I don't mind it but it is heavy compared to my other tail lights. But the trade off is using a generic battery vs something you can't find. Another issue is with the large lens window how does that last with drops, scratches, it should be ok but it's much larger than I've seen on other lights. I would recomment this for riding at night and all around users.

They work great and are easy to see. I use mine on every ride, both in the daylight and night. You won’t go wrong buying them.

These lights are awesome. I have an Evo, Portal, and Blade. Did have an issue with one, an email with explanation and picture to Outbound and a replacement was on it's way next day. Heavy in comparison to others I have been well worth it for pattern and brightness. Highly recomend.

Great amount of patterns and good brightness/light direction, Definitely an eye-catcher that helps you remain seen, even on dark roads or bike-paths

I've recently installed and run this light on my 2021 giant tcr with the aero seat post. One thing to note that was not clear to me when I made this purchase is that the seat post mount that comes with the blade can not be mounted to an aero seat post like the tcr has. I swear I read all the information on the outbound site before placing my order but I didn't realize it only supported round seat posts. Anyways I ordered a compatible mount through sheehy, and the fit is excellent. I'll keep putting the light through its paces but so far so good.
