Engineered Here.

Each light is designed, simulated, tweaked, massaged, and engineered to the highest levels. To enhance your night riding experience.

Built here.

We build each light in house to maintain quality, control, and respond to your needs. From tooling to workstations to lights, we build it all.

Shipped here.

We even strive to ship same day (business days.... of course) by handling all the packaging and shipping in house.

Founder & Engineer
Matt Conte

The founder of Outbound Lighting and lead engineer. He's had an interesting career designing roller coasters, fighter jets, automotive lighting, and culminating in the development of Outbound Lighting after looking at what was out there, and was convinced that he could build a bike headlight instead of a flashlight.

A strong passion for rally car racing and cars lead him to the interest in automotive lighting. Utilizing the experience of sliding sideways in the woods at 100mph at night to design off-road lighting before setting sights on using that experience for mountain and road biking.

Co-Owner, engineer, testing & customer service
Tom "Danger" Place

Former CREE LED manager of Package & Test R&D and the Global Applications Engineering Team with multiple LED chip design patents to his name and two passions: mountain biking and lighting.

Founder of the First Braptist Dirt Church in Pisgah National Forest, he’s always out stress-testing our lights in the Phoenix valley desert heat, and now in the PNW wet in his new backyard. A good friend once said “if you don’t know Tom, it’s just a matter of time!” as he is a rare breed of socially-dependent engineer that obsesses over data by day then seeks out party pace group rides by night.
