They say the light is warranty with no question ask but when it brakes you're end up sending a warranty slip to them they will say print the label an send it back ta be fix so the customer is paying extra money even no u dont realize it u are for that warranty but if the warranty doesn't exist why are we paying more money my light has a new use now its a paper weight it just doesn't work no more i probably used it about 40 hours give or take for 208 bucks not worth it i got the light cuz of that promise warranty but yet again these small businesses have stolen from there customers so just not when it brakes your NOT just gonna get a new light i am sick of these kinda businesses promising something that DOSE NOT EXISTS
Hey Jake, we certainly see all the reviews you are leaving all over the place 3 months after we chatted. We sent you a label to send the light back to get repaired immediately when we got your email on May 20th. You never responded back, and we never got the light back, so understandably we just assumed that it got sorted. We never indicated that you needed to pay for anything, and in fact looks like we've sent you some free mounts as well over the time you've owned the light.
If you had reached back out to explain the issues you might have with printing a piece of paper for a pre-paid label, we could have worked something out. Just for reference though, it doesn't have to be a peel and stick label. Plenty of people just print it out and tape it to a box.
Anyways. We still are happy to try and work with you to get the light fixed, just shoot us a message and we'll figure something out. :)
I loved this light it works pretty good yes I said loved cuz my portal just stopped working one night it doesn't take a charge for some reason I dont know why I filled out a warranty slip they said print the label send it back ta be fix i dont have a label printer so I can't send it back I payed 208 bucks for this light that has became a paper weight for it to just stop working why is the customer paying more money on a warranty light if the warranty doesn't exist not cool not cool at all. Is it worth it ta do that to a customer now your getting bad reviews on every platform you guys are on an ppl will see this an buy a different light so your losing money it's not worth it that show how u guys do business with your customers they basically called me a lier an i never got a new light 208 bucks was wasted on a portal that lasted me 40 hours 👎

lets face it. Every consumer product has flashy marketing. Some influencer maybe your influenced by...maybe you have some choice word opinions about which aren't appropriate for a review in this capacity. planned obsolescence is the foundation of the product, and the name of the game is CHINA CHNA CHINA. Get it cheap and slap it together as fast as possible and move as many units out the door as possible. We live and operate in an economy where its profits over the name on the tag, and a consumer is looked at as an impulsive spender with money that if "insert your company/ corp name here" doesn't take and take as much as they have to spend, then someone else will. There are a few fighter out there still who put that name on the product or the shirts reputation as a reliable and high performing quality product or service first. I am one and being so, i recognize when other companys go the extra mile in the snow and rain to deliver something better and superior instead of delivering a fatter bank deposit end of the week. OUTBOUND LIGHTS are the Toyota Hilux of offroad riding lights. They are small and compact, as is the Hilux but the capacity of these two small thing is nuts. On one hand the hilux can accomedate a 50 caliber belt fed machine gun or PKM mounted in the bed or anti aircraft gun plus 12 militants and get across a desert on one tank of gas......The OUTBOUND PORTAL is it's lighting counterpart. It comes with the most robust mounting bases for go pros I have ever used its ridiculous I actually got close lined trying to graham Jarvis under a gate the other day at dusk and had my go pro in. Anticipating swapping the light in short time I was freaking out assuming i would find the camera on the ground and a busted mount. Like the time in kindergardten I melted down over losing my backpack the entire bus ride to find it was on my back....I had one side of the male counterpart of the base break clean off. It landed in my shirt. im looking for my camera im like dude no way where the heck is it....It was on my helmet still because OUTBOUND LIGHTS makes products that can take a blow like Rocky Balboa. I put my light in place of the camera and ripped it for 2 hours and the broken mounts sitting in my helmet right now- working as good as it was prior to smashing into a gate top rail. Moving on from the boring base part which i was excited about....The light is so bright Helen Keller or Stevie Wonder could pick up mountain biking at night. Honesly this lights not for road cyclers so I dont care disclaiming the fact that if you wanted to during a road hawk between trails, be a menace- if you shone it into an oncoming vehicle you would win the game of chicken. I use it doing pretty fast to not so fast depending on the direction of the slope- dont get the steady downhill variety in Plymouth Mass as we all desire and seems thee is more uphill no matter which way you loop a trail- the light is as right as you need to jump, see whats coming your way- especially the terry ranches we have 365 ponds in town and trails are all around them and there are these beastly golf ball sized spiders that string up everywhere in the trails and my intake number has been reduced substantially in a short time of recieving my light. So if you read this review, to consider spending more money on something from amazon- im tling you the best youll get there is night rider and I thought they were fancy until I got a OUTBOUND and now they may as well be the $30 blue light special. Works great in foggy drizzly weather, works great going fast and aids in succuss when taking chances while maintaining that velocity. The battery life has been great I tried not to over charge the thing and I get a couple hours on setting 1 and or 2 they are both bright as hell i dont discern much difference and eventhe low setting 3 o 4 is good enough to get your self home at a reduced speed watever you have to go thru. LASTLTY, when i initially emailed these guys telling them how i thought there product was awesome and asking if they had any factory defects or whatever for sale because i was broke AF at the time, and said if they sent me any outbound stickers or a shirt I would rep it like a salary employee.......In there response they told me they would send me a stash of some OUTBOUND LIGHTING goodies and they kept their word. I got a thank you note in handwriting a idk a hundred stickers maybe. Those stickers are now on everything sticking out of the ground in my town and surrounding communities and I am going to need some more guys BTW....nah im jk i did not do that, that would be at the level of the graffiti dicks who have to spray paint anything above grade and i aint cool with those clowns. Thank you for asking for a review from me I enjoyed writing it and I am stoked with the light it met expectations and if you are weighing the purchase and looking at amazon ill tell ya right now- your a chump if you go with amazon and your i...
This light is offensively bright!!!
Its amazing!!
These lights are expensive. I wondered if I made the right choice and I was thrilled with the light. But when I had questions about one and an issue with another, I received multiple correspondences directly with the CEO founder who personally sorted out my issues (mostly caused by me!) at no cost and even included a mount to fix the issue with my particular bike. Contrast that with the light I bought from another brand on amazon that died mid-ride and they refuse to even service it at any cost (basically disposable). I will never buy a light from anyone else but Outbound!
These things are so awesome, self-contained, easy to use. I love them! Five stars.
Bigger 21700 battery!
In order to hit the same runtime as Trail Evo, and have higher peak brightness than Hangover we shoved a 5,000 mAH genuine Samsung 50E 21700 battery cell and wrapped the light around it.
This results in 43% more capacity over our Hangover light, meaning far longer runtimes (up to 2.5 hours on adaptive, a 50% increase over Hangover).
Even brighter!
While more lumens isn't always the answer, we added in some more brightness and increased the beam pattern width over Hangover to provide even more punch down the trail.
New finely tuned optics with 30% larger TIR cones means higher optical efficiency and more peripheral light to help spot the spooky stuff.
Simple User Interface
Few people read instruction manuals, even fewer want to, so we keep our lights dead simple so that you don’t need an advanced degree to remember some complicated button presses get to the mode you want.
Portal’s soft-touch overmolded top shell has a single, large button right in the middle that’s easy to feel through a thick winter glove in the dark, so you don’t have to hunt blindly around on top of your head just to turn it on.
