    Our latest to-see-by headlight, the Flash 500 brings Flux-style beam control to a more budget-friendly pricepoint. The Flash headlight combines a clean, compact design with a simple-yet-elegant silicone strap that reminds us of a watchband design from our friends in Cupertino.

    With two different-sized straps included, you can dial in just the right amount of stretch to keep the Flash secure, while ensuring super fast install and removal. Now you see it, now you don't.

    Thanks to it's 1400mAh battery pack, the Flash 500 will deliver 500 lumens for 2 hours, all the way up to 125 lumens for 8 hours. 250 lumens of Flash mode gives you a whopping 16 hours of runtime.

    • Single-LED oval beam pattern gives a perfect blend of spot and peripheral visibility.
    • CREE XP-G3 LED delivers big-time lumens.
    • Class-leading 1400mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery pack to back up those lumens with real-world usable runtimes. Micro USB cable included.
    • Installs in seconds with a silicone strap system. Just pull the strap under the handlebar and drop it into the slot on the light body.
    • Includes two different-sized straps to fit every round handlebar cockpit. (Flash headlights are not suitable for aero handlebars.)
    • Extra bright side lights to give you 180-degree visibility to other cyclists and motorists.
    • IPX7 waterproof means this light will be there when you need it, even in the hardest rain.
    • Steady High mode: 500 lumens for 2:00 hours
    • Steady Medium mode: 250 lumens for 4:00 hours
    • Steady Low mode: 125 lumens for 8:00 hours

    Horrible battery life

    Don’t recommend if you ride for more than an hour, battery SUCKS! Cant ride for more than a half hour on 500. Battery is only a couple of months old. Also once it gets below 20% the light dims considerably, almost unusable. Please DO NOT BUY IF YOU ACTUALLY DO NIGHT RIDING! If I could return I would.

    Amazing Light! Two Minor Suggestions.

    This is my favorite compact bike light. It packs a big punch for its size- it is delightfully small, but extremely bright. I don't do a ton of night riding, but I love how easy this light is to toss in a jersey pocket or frame bag, and I love how easy and fast the band is to wrap around my bars, and that it is large enough to stretch over aero drop-bars. Three things I would really like to see updated: 1) USB-C charging 2) Button-Lock (something like double-tap or press-and-hold to lock the light off so it doesn't get turned on while floating around in a bag)

    Lightweight, simple design and I really like the power/setting buttons. Easy to use with bulky gloves on in adverse conditions.

    Great light

    I love this light. It's perfect for technical night riding. Also great if you don't want the woods washed out on a night ride and still want to enjoy the night ride feel. Angle is great and 500 lumens is perfect. Build quality is very nice. Feels bombproof.

    Overpriced straps break after a short time

    It's overpriced for how dim it is, I've seen bike light's that are 1000 lumens for cheaper than this. The straps that are used also break after using them for a short amount of time, both of mine are broken and now I can't even use the light at the moment.
