In 1975, Jim Blackburn looked at the developing cycling culture and realized that he could offer unprecedented advancements in bicycle lighting components. He was able to see from the perspective of the cyclist and the user, thus managing to create highly functional and innovative products from high-quality materials at competitive prices. Over the years, Blackburn has specialized in the production of front and rear bicycle lights, and their product range also includes pumps, locks, and tool kits assembled in a convenient multitool version. The mounting of the cycling components is extremely secure and convenient, all lights are well protected against impact and rain, and they have an IPX4 waterproof certification.
Since August 2009, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has introduced a new standard for bicycle lights, aiming to minimize unnecessary glare and to calibrate front and rear lights as accurately as possible so that they produce the maximum amount of illumination without blinding or disturbing oncoming traffic. Although certifying the entire production is an expensive process, the company manages to maintain highly competitive prices for its products in the cycling market.
In the development of their other cycling accessories, such as locks, pumps, and field repair tool kits, the company applies the same great ambition and innovative approach as with the manufacture of bicycle lights, guaranteeing their customers easy-to-use, high-quality, and effective products that follow the latest trends in cycling accessories.
Over the years, Blackburn has proven to be one of the most sustainable companies producing bicycle lights and cycling accessories, which guarantees fans of this brand consistent quality and control of outgoing products, along with innovation and modern thinking.
