The brand new BACKFIRE Gen II Lights are our latest skateboard accessory, created based upon the feedback from our Gen I Light users and the E-skate community.

It features two 300 lumen lights per set with 3.5 hours of lighting time, enough for any night group ride or commute. The mounting mechanism of our Gen 2 Lights, based on feedback, has been moved from the top of the deck to the bottom, and are placed aside the truck base.

The triple-split Type-C cable included also allows you to charge both lights and the BACKFIRE remote simultaneously, which makes it two cables less for you to worry about.

Disclaimer:

This light currently might not fit the Ranger X1 or X2, and Mini for directly installation under the deck. You will need a riser under the truck and longer bolts if necessary to install the light under the Ranger deck.

I love riding at night but I also like to not die. These lights helps provide the former by reducing the risk of the latter. The lights are bright enough to see most of the stuff i might hit, and they have always outlasted the boards battery so I don't worry about running out of light. They also mount nicely out of the way so I hardly notice them when they aren't on.

I bought these about 3 months ago, and for a while they worked well. Suddenly however, the right light started malfunctioning and randomly switches on and off, making the battery depleted when I actually need it and being annoying when not in use and still charged due to the constant turning on and off. I contacted support which quickly replied that they do not have any warranty on these whatsoever, telling me to buy a new set. The warranty page was pretty unclear to me, but regardless, I don't suggest buying a product that is likely to break after 3 months of normal use.

Good

Works great. EXTREMELY BRIGHT. Seems to be dirt/dust resistant as well as water resistant. Worth the money in my opinion. It’s just what I needed for those late night rides with the boys (and occasionally girls) 10/10

It’s been great , they look so good. But my right light just broke off my trucks . So hopefully I could maybe get another pair sent out / warranty .

Got the light for my new Galaxy, happy about the purchase :)

Due to the offset of the mounting plate to make room for the truck base on standard trucks, these won't fit drop-thru trucks (such as those on the Ranger line) without some sort of spacer. Alternatively you could mount them on top of the board, but that ruins the whole point of the design. This review started at 5 stars, as the design was a good idea and the flashlights themselves are well built and very bright. I've deducted 1 star for misleading product description failing to mention incompatibly with drop-thru trucks, 1 for failing to provide sufficient hardware to mount them on any Backfire board, and 1 for the button being on the bottom instead of the side, making it more difficult to access while riding.
