So the Portal is my third Outbound Lighting light (Trail, Evo and now Portal) and it is just as fantastic as the rest. I'd been using the Evo mostly by itself as it was brighter than my prior bar/helmet light combo. Occasionally I'd use NiteRider 1200 on longer rides for some additional vision and redundancy but it didn't make that much difference. As soon as I saw the black Friday pricing on the Portal, I pulled the trigger and I'm glad I did. The first ride with it, I was switching back and forth between the Portal and the Evo and then finally both. the Portal was noticeably brighter than the Evo (so much so I had to crank it down to two notches to balance out) but much more focused. It still covered a lot more area than the NiteRider but not (clearly) as much as the larger Evo. Having both together was an absolute revelation. Adding the Portal gave me so much more visibility and depth on the trail. If you don't already have the Evo/Portal combo, you owe it to yourself get them. 10/10 recommended.

Loving the new light. I have used it for my commute to work for a couple of weeks now. Low setting has been perfect. Can't wait to get out on the dirt and see how bright it is on full power.

Ride, walk the dogs, garage works.
I purchased a MTB light and, as it turns out, since it has a cam mount and the options are many, I am using it for just about everything else.

"These lights might actually be magic" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ll be honest, I bought these lights partly because of the ads making fun of bad reviews. But now that I’ve used them? I’m kicking myself for not getting them sooner.
From the first ride, these lights made everything better. They don’t just light up the trail—they make you feel like you’re in control, even on the sketchiest sections. The beam is wide and even, so you’re not riding into a dark void, and the battery life is way better than I expected. I’ve finished long rides with power to spare (unlike my legs).
The shipping process didn’t go smoothly at first—I had some serious issues—but their team took care of it immediately, no questions asked. They were so helpful and friendly that I felt like a VIP customer. Seriously, these guys are awesome, and the level of care they showed is almost as impressive as their lights.
If you’re on the fence, just go for it. These lights turned my evening rides into adventures. Plus, now I have zero excuses for bailing on night rides.
In order to hit the same runtime as Trail Evo, and have higher peak brightness than Hangover we shoved a 5,000 mAH genuine Samsung 50E 21700 battery cell and wrapped the light around it.
This results in 43% more capacity over our Hangover light, meaning far longer runtimes (up to 2.5 hours on adaptive, a 50% increase over Hangover).
Even brighter!
While more lumens isn't always the answer, we added in some more brightness and increased the beam pattern width over Hangover to provide even more punch down the trail.
New finely tuned optics with 30% larger TIR cones means higher optical efficiency and more peripheral light to help spot the spooky stuff.
Simple User Interface
Few people read instruction manuals, even fewer want to, so we keep our lights dead simple so that you don’t need an advanced degree to remember some complicated button presses get to the mode you want.
Portal’s soft-touch overmolded top shell has a single, large button right in the middle that’s easy to feel through a thick winter glove in the dark, so you don’t have to hunt blindly around on top of your head just to turn it on.
