If you’ve ever ridden with a monster helmet light or a light tethered to a battery, this thing is a revelation.
I’ve tried most of the fancy lights from GPS companies and the various bike light companies and this one is simple and just works. Bells and whistles are neat on paper but not on the trail.
Give me good brightness, a blanket of light, and enough battery, make it in a durable package with a solid helmet or handlebar attachment and that makes for a quality light.
The Hangover is lightweight, provides a good bright and wide beam (I like to have it complement a handlebar light), and plenty of battery life for the night rides I do.
I’ve had mine a couple of years and have not noticed a decrease in battery life, although I’m a once-a-week-ish type rider in fall and winter. I like the flexibility the action camera mount provides for mounting and positioning.
3 improvements I’d like:
1. Replaceable battery
2. Replaceable action camera prongs
3. A longer throw broader beam in the middle of the light.

Good lights
The lights are bright so that I can ride at night.

Great lights
I have the Detour on my bars under my Garmin and the Hangover on my helmet and it's a great combination. I'm a roadie and due to work hours sometimes the only free time I have to ride is at night. I live in the boonies and none of the roads are lit. The Detour/Hangover combination does an excellent job of lighting my way. I've previously used Gloworm lights and I feel the Outbound lights are much better. They do a great job of lighting the road, the added weight of the Hangover on my helmet isn't noticeable at all, and there are no battery packs and wires to worry about. My average ride is 1 1/2 hours and the battery life in adaptive mode for both lights is more than adequate.

Awesome product, awesome service
Product: The Hangover is so much better than a fixed bike light for my early morning bike commute! The light is sufficiently bright to give me heads up of objects on the road even when going about 25 mph. Service: I had an incident where the plastic housing cracked, so I reached out to the service team; they were quick to help, and completely fixed and returned my light! Will definitely be investing in OL products in the future.

Hangover Helmet Light
I got a chance to use my new Hangover helmet light this week. I love that it mounts like a GoPro, instead of having to strap it to the helmet. I have a Smith Forefront 2 helmet which has a port for a GoPro style mount. In my opinion it's a much cleaner looking system. The light is very bright and sends out a wide beam due to its flat, horizontal shape. I does a great job of bringing the entire trail into view. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. What impressed me the most about Outbound Lighting is their customer service. My light was stolen by a porch pirate. I contacted the company hoping for a discount code on a replacement light. After sending them the video of the light being stolen, they replaced the light for free (Thank you Jason!!). Great customer service is alive and well. When it's time to replace my handlebar light, I'll be purchasing from Outbound Lighting.

Great!
These are the best lights I’ve used. Put them through the ringer and they still perform well. Customer service was great. One product shipped without a charging cord and they shipped me one the next day. Great company and products!
When we launched the Trail Edition back in 2017 it was a game changer for bike lights. A beam pattern specifically designed for trail riding with a wide evenly illuminated distribution. However we had lots of requests to build a helmet light instead of just a handlebar light.
So we got to work, figured out what is important for a helmet mounting, fine tuned the beam pattern and optimized everything else to come up with the lightest, longest lasting, and most powerful helmet-specific bike light out there.
Read on for more nerdy design details!
Helmet Specific Beam Pattern
When we developed Hangover’s beam pattern, we knew we wanted to better balance a narrow spot for throw down trail with a smoother transition to eliminate the tunnel vision you get from the off-the-shelf flashlight-style lights on the market.
We employ blended Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optic features to meticulously shape the beam from the high-intensity center with an even gradient to a soft fall-off covering all the peripheral around the rider, avoiding distracting beam artifacts while giving the rider a better sense of balance.
Check the slider comparison below to see the difference between a fine tuned optical instrument such as Hangover vs a name-brand light that has been around for years.
USB-C pass-through charging
Everyone has USB charging ports all over nowadays, so we make sure you can use any of them with Hangover, and not just some proprietary charger that you can only get from us. Even better, if you use a QC3.0-rated charger, you can get 85% charge in just one hour (24-hour racers rejoice!).
But we took that concept one step further and added Pass-Thru Charging to allow you full access to all output modes of your light while charging from an off-the-shelf USB Power Bank, so that you can extend runtime for those epic adventures, without limiting the light available to you (bikepackers rejoice!). We even customized the included USB-C cable with a right-angle connector to make cable routing on the helmet clean and easy.
Rock Solid Helmet Mounting
Helmets are like snowflakes, each one their own unique, ornate shape…that’s why we built Hangover with built-in tabs for standard “action camera” mounts, because they just work, and you don’t have to rely on some proprietary design from us.
We tucked the mount in low on the backside to keep the weight low, minimizing neck strain on long rides, and reducing the likelihood of low-hanging branches ruining your day…er, night.
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 sequence of button presses get to the mode you want.
Hangover’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.
Four simple modes cover the majority of use cases from set-it-and-forget-it pedally XC to long-climb-fast-descent Enduro rides – Adaptive / High / Medium / Low – and no SOS or seizure inducing strobes stuck in between.
Designed & Assembled in Chicago, IL
Skillfully built by our passionate team while listening to a lot of podcasts.
Electrifying design
We like to keep our lights simple on the outside for the user, but that doesn’t mean we’re skimping on the guts inside. The constant-current driver maintains rock solid regulation through the Cree LEDs over the entire voltage range of the genuine LG 18650 cell with a unique battery monitoring algorithm to give you accurate feedback without interruption.
Complete with fast QC3.0 USB-C charging and Pass-Thru capability to boot, we engineer the electronics to maximize efficiency and runtime while minimizing charge times, all without any proprietary connectors that could leave you stranded. We’re always pushing the limits internally to deliver new feature sets that provide real value to the rider, not just fancy names.
Thermal Engineering
LEDs produce heat, they’re not magic, it’s just a fact. Getting the heat out of the LEDs efficiently without sending it into the rider’s hands is paramount for reliable and safe operation, so we pulled from our background in automotive lighting by employing magnesium for the thermal mass in Hangover to both reduce weight vs. aluminum and reduce the case touch-temperature.
Optimizing airflow across the cooling channels when riding sheds heat fast, allowing us to make the light smaller and lighter than competitors without requiring aggressive thermal controls in the firmware to throttle back output to keep the light cool. Of course, we have controls in the firmware for safety, the difference is you won’t need them on the trail with Hangover.
