Smart LED Lighting That Actually Makes Night Riding Safe
If you’ve ever found yourself wanting to squeeze in one more ride as the sun sets, you know the dilemma: keep riding in sketchy visibility or call it quits early. ShredLights solved this problem with their modular LED lighting system designed specifically for electric skateboards and other micromobility gear.
What makes ShredLights different from slapping a random bike light on your board? It’s all about the smart integration. The SL-300+ headlights and SL-300 R1 rear lights work together as a cohesive system, not just random accessories. The S-LOCK mounting system lets you slide and click lights on and off in seconds, making it easy to swap between boards or take them with you to prevent theft.
The real magic happens when you dive into the smart features. Through Bluetooth app control, you can adjust brightness, sync multiple units, and activate brake modes that automatically flash when you decelerate. It’s like having intelligent lighting that actually understands how you ride. The SL-1000 model claims visibility up to 30 feet ahead when board-mounted, which is genuinely useful for spotting obstacles and road hazards.
Durability is where ShredLights really shine. These aren’t delicate gadgets – they’re built for the vibration, impacts, and weather that come with electric skateboarding. The IPX8 waterproof rating means you don’t have to panic if you get caught in unexpected rain. USB-C charging keeps things modern and convenient, though battery life is the main tradeoff – expect around 90 minutes at maximum brightness.
The modular design is brilliant for riders with multiple boards or who want lights they can use on helmets, bikes, or other gear. You’re investing in a lighting ecosystem, not just a single-purpose accessory.
ShredLights work best for riders who frequently find themselves in low-light conditions and want professional-grade safety features. If you just need basic illumination occasionally, simpler options might suffice. But for serious riders who value safety, flexibility, and smart features, ShredLights represent a significant upgrade over basic lighting solutions. The initial investment pays off in versatility and peace of mind during those extended riding sessions.
