About Blackburn
In 1975, Jim Blackburn set out to design stronger, lighter, more innovative and more reliable cycling products. The first were bags and racks designed for touring. From there, Blackburn grew. Over the next 30 years, Blackburn's spark of innovation would lead to many revolutionary products, like the first high quality aircraft aluminum rack, the first dual stroke minipump, the first oversized mountain minipump and the first dual stage/dual stroke floorpump just to name a few. For 2005, Blackburn's creative spark is burning brighter than ever. And as we head into our 30th year, Blackburn is re-dedicated to designing smart, reliable, no nonsense accessories that are essential to your riding experience.

5 out of 5 stars Bike Light   November 29, 2008
A. A. Huffman (Placerville, CA)
We used this light set on a mobility scooter chair....attached it to the handle bar in front and even found a place for the red back light...the strapping mechanism made it easy to improvise a location to mount. Wow, does it light up the night. We used it to travel around an RV park at night recently and everyone else was following us to find their way "home" to their rigs! Great product.


4 out of 5 stars Light fell into creek, still flashing in creek, but otherwise very bright!   November 10, 2008
Michael D. (Seattle, WA)
I put these lights on my cyclocross bike, then rode around on some rough trails at dusk last night. It was my first ride in the dark, but wow, they totally lit up the way in front of me. There are plenty of adjustability options (although the rear light seems to be aimed low by default). I read about the rear light being fragile, although it only seemed that way if you exert a lot of pressure on it.

The catch is -- make sure the front light is really mounted and secure. I am guessing that I had a defective front mount because last night on that ride, the thing tumbled off, and into a culvert/pool of water. I checked the depth, but it was about 4-5 feet deep. Now passersby have a flashing creek until the battery runs out. At least we know its waterproof!

This could be a very good product if they improve the quality. After the 1st week, The taillight clip broke off and I had to make a Velcro strap to mount it on the back of my seat. After 6 months of use, both the headlight and taillight cuts out intermittently. I almost got hit when the taillight went out. That's when I decided to throw this thing away and put my old faithful vintage generator set back on that was purchased in the 70s.


5 out of 5 stars Great lights- very bright.   September 24, 2008

Great product. I commute on my bike on dimly lit streets, and they do a great job of keeping me visible to cars. These light are eye-catching and very bright. They are sturdy, easy to take on and off my bike, and easy to take apart and fix.


2 out of 5 stars clumsy and fragile   September 21, 2008

the tail light attach system is not strong enough for mountain biking demands, the hook to attach it broke at third ride. the headlight is too big, the light is dim. The reflections of the leds in the clear front end interferes with your vision.... take a look at the design, the clear plastic allows to spill out the light in a more than 180 degrees, and not to the front,
i don't recommend buying this light
