Cyclist safety lights are essential for riding after dark but are often limited in the way they visually alert those around, which is where the VIS LightPool Taillight is designed to offer an alternative.
The light is characterized by its 180-degree design that is visible from all angles in the rear thanks to its ability to shine light out and down. The light will shine onto the roadway during rides to further accentuate the visibility and also help drivers to keep a safe distance from the cyclist.
The VIS LightPool Taillight illuminates with 105 lumens of light output and will deliver up to six-hours of use per four-hour charge of the battery pack. The bike light features an IP64 waterproof rating to easily withstand use in inclement weather.
