Portland Design Works Pathfinder Headlight

The vertical cutoff beam shapes the light so it illuminates the road directly in front of you without spilling upward. This prevents you from blinding oncoming cyclists or drivers, making it a considerate choice for shared paths and busy city streets.

At 200 lumens, the Pathfinder is primarily designed for urban commuting and being seen by others. While it provides enough light to navigate lit city streets, you may want a more powerful light with higher lumen output if you frequently ride on unlit rural roads.

The unit features an integrated battery meter that allows you to track your remaining power at a glance. This helps you avoid the frustration of the light dying mid-ride.

Yes, the Pathfinder features a weatherproof construction designed to handle all-season use. While it is built to withstand rain and road spray, it should not be submerged in water.

You can expect up to 25 hours of battery life, though the exact runtime will vary depending on which of the four light modes—Steady low, Steady high, Pulse, or Daytime Flash—you are using.

The light uses a quick on/off mounting system that is designed for convenience. It attaches securely to your handlebars for a stable ride but is simple enough to detach quickly when you need to lock your bike or charge the unit.
