A strong choice for road cyclists who want dependable night illumination, high daytime visibility and tidy handlebar or under-computer mounting in one light.
The Blinder 1000 is a high-output front bike light designed for road riding. Its road-focused beam optics combine spot and wide-angle illumination to project light up to 100 m at a controlled 22° angle, helping you see the road ahead without wasting output. Side illumination windows add visibility from additional angles, making you easier for other road users to notice.
You get six light modes for different conditions, from 950-lumen High Steady for dark roads to 200-lumen Low Steady for longer rides. Hype mode delivers 1000 lumens for up to 8 hours, while Eco Flash stretches maximum runtime to 120 hours. The intelligent button shows battery and charging status, so you can check whether it is time to recharge before heading out.
The CNC 6061 aluminium housing gives the light a robust feel, while IP67 waterproofing helps it handle wet-weather riding. The included Flex Mount fits 22.2–35 mm handlebars, including aero bars, and the GoPro-compatible mount lets you position the light beneath a cycling computer. USB-C charging is built in; a charging cable is not included.
