Blackburn Grid Side Beacon

Day or night, be seen in intersections with the eye catching glow of the grid side beacon

Being seen from all angles has never been easier
We understand being able to see in the dark is important, but we also believe that so is being visible to cars. A recent study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) showed 27% of bicycle accidents are side impacts and 30% of fatalities occur in intersections (between 2010-2017). Being seen from all angles while cycling has never been easier. The Grid Side Beacon was imagined to work in with head/tail lights to keep you more visible from a full 360 degrees. Designed to be mounted to either side of your fork with reusable silicone straps, the Grid Side Beacon can be used as a stand alone light, or as part of our Luminate 360 Light Set. Specd with eye catching amber colored LEDs, the weather proof, rechargeable Grid Side Beacon set comes with a dual headed charger and has a runtime of up to 6 hours for multiple days of commuting illumination.

Features

360° Visibility
If you could be seen from every angle, why wouldn't you want to? This was the thinking behind 360 degree visibility. Blackburn designed the side visibility lights to work in concert with the front and rear lights to keep you seen, day or night, from any angle.

Amber Leds
Because it sits right in the center of the visible light spectrum, amber is the first light color the eye can pick up. It is universally accepted that yellow/amber lights mean caution, or slow down, making them ideal for side visibility light.

1 for each side
The Grid Side Beacon comes with two lights for each side of your bike. They include two different sized rubber bands to accomodate varying thicknesses/tapers of fork blades, downtubes or top tubes.

Meets Ansi Fl-1 standard
This standard was created by the american national standards institure (Ansi) to provide consistent performance measurements for handheld lights. Although bicycle lights are not required to follow this or any standard, Blackburn believes in offering full transparency in how the output, run time, water resistance and other performance claims are measured.

Led fuel gauge/Charge indicator
A small built in led light indicates the battery level. Green = >75%, Orange = 75-25%, Red = <25%.

IP-65 Category
Ingress protection rating, is a techy way to describe the level of water and dust proofness a product has. This light meets the Ip-65 standard, which means is totally protected against dust/grit and is fully protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction.

Limited Lifetime Warranty.
