Being USB rechargeable should also encourage user to run their light during daytime riding, a practice that is proven to reduce the chance of being involved in an accident by almost 20%. Adaptable attachment system “ The Blinder still enjoys it innovative tool-less removable attachment system using silicone straps, which allows the light to attached to bars from 22 - 32mm in diameter. Run times “ A user can run their Blinder on steady high for 2.5 hours and a whopping 60 hours when using eco flash mode.

We have also retained the long press to turn on and off function which prevents accidental activation of the light.
