Portland Design Works Pathfinder Headlight

The vertical cutoff beam shapes the light output to focus strictly on the road ahead of you. This prevents the top portion of the beam from shining upward, which stops you from blinding oncoming cyclists, pedestrians, or drivers.

The Pathfinder is designed primarily for urban commuting and well-lit city streets where the goal is to see and be seen. If you frequently ride on unlit trails or dark rural roads, you may want a higher-lumen light, but for city use, 200 lumens is perfectly adequate.

The headlight features an integrated battery meter that tracks your power usage. This allows you to monitor your remaining charge at a glance so you aren't caught off guard mid-ride.

Yes, it includes a dedicated Daytime Flash mode specifically engineered to increase your visibility to traffic during daylight hours. It is highly recommended to use this mode whenever you are riding in mixed traffic.

Because it uses a standard USB rechargeable Li-ion battery, charging is straightforward and can be done via any computer or wall adapter. While exact times vary by power source, it is designed for quick, convenient turnarounds between commutes.
