How the front-light families step up
Mako → Swift: move from replaceable-AA simplicity to a lighter rechargeable everyday system.
Swift → Micro: move from visibility-first lighting to more usable light for darker roads and regular after-dark riding.
Micro → Boost: move from compact everyday lighting to more versatile road, multi-surface, and trail use.
Boost → Dual: move when technical singletrack becomes the priority and wider trail-focused coverage matters more than general versatility.
Pro: choose when direct output control and, on Pro 1550, optional NiteLink expansion are more important than following the Micro/Boost/Dual ladder.
Max: choose when maximum self-contained Lumina output is the priority.
Pro Systems: choose when external battery capacity, long runtime, and replaceable battery-pack architecture are more important than an all-in-one format.

NiteLink connected lighting
NiteLink is NiteRider’s wireless lighting platform. Some current products are NiteLink-compatible, while others may be sold in configurations that include NiteLink accessories.
Compatibility does not mean an accessory is included. Always check the exact product page for included components and current compatibility before purchase.
See current NiteLink products
E-bike lighting
NiteRider’s Epro and Emax products are designed to integrate with compatible e-bike electrical systems rather than relying on a separate rechargeable battery. Compatibility should be checked against the bicycle manufacturer’s requirements before installation.
See current e-bike lighting
Moto and powersports lighting
NiteRider’s Moto and powersports lineup uses several system architectures depending on the vehicle, mounting requirement, power source, and intended use.
Lumina Moto — Self-contained
Rechargeable all-in-one lighting with the battery integrated into the light and Moto-specific mounting configurations. Current products include Micro-Moto, Boost-Moto, Pro-Moto, and Dual-Moto options.
MX — External battery
Performance lighting systems that separate the light head from a rechargeable external battery pack. This architecture provides additional battery capacity and mounting flexibility compared with an all-in-one light.
ADV / Hardwire — Vehicle powered
Lighting designed to connect to a compatible vehicle electrical system rather than relying on a rechargeable battery integrated into the light.
Exact mounts, wiring, battery systems, controls, NiteLink compatibility, and included hardware vary by product. The individual product page governs the sold configuration.

Powersports lighting
Law Enforcement and Public Safety bicycle lighting
NiteRider’s Law Enforcement / Public Safety products are professional bicycle-patrol lighting and warning systems. These products are shown on NiteRider.com for agency and dealer reference and are not offered as standard direct online purchases. Police departments, public-safety agencies, and bicycle-patrol programs should work with a NiteRider dealer for configuration, availability, agency pricing, quotes, and bid support.
Digital Patrol LED — Front lighting + pursuit signaling
Primary visible model: Digital Patrol LED
Designed in partnership with major police departments, the Digital Patrol LED combines a 600-lumen white riding light with pursuit and steady-stop lighting functions, handlebar remote control, and a rechargeable frame-mounted battery. It is compatible with the NiteRider Police Tail Light.
Available light configurations:
Red / Blue — SKU 9216
Blue / Blue — SKU 9217
Red / Red — SKU 9218
The three configurations are represented on NiteRider.com as one public reference product. The required configuration and SKU are specified through the NiteRider dealer preparing the agency quote or bid.
Police Tail Light — Rear pursuit visibility
The Police Tail Light is the rear pursuit and visibility component of the Digital Patrol LED bicycle-patrol system. It is powered by the Digital Patrol LED battery system and can operate independently from the headlight.
Available light configurations:
Red / Blue — SKU 6303
Blue / Blue — SKU 6304
Red / Red — SKU 6302
All three Police Tail Light configurations use the same pursuit-flash and steady-stop operating functions. The LED color configuration changes by SKU. The configurations are represented on NiteRider.com as one public reference product and are specified through the servicing dealer.
Modular Siren Accessory — Audible warning
SKU: 9307
A standalone handlebar-mounted warning system rated at 115 dB with a Hi/Lo sound pattern, remote activation, and an included 9V battery.
Law Enforcement purchasing path: these products are reference products on NiteRider.com. Departments and agencies should contact a NiteRider dealer to determine the required configuration and obtain availability, agency pricing, quotes, or bid documentation.

How to read NiteRider product information
Rider job comes before the biggest lumen number
NiteRider families are intended to solve different riding jobs. A higher maximum output does not automatically make one model the better choice for every rider.
Use output and runtime together
When a product publishes a lumen-and-runtime pair, read the pair together. Peak output and sustained riding output are different pieces of information.
Use watt-hours for battery-energy comparisons when available
Milliamp-hours (mAh) are not a direct cross-voltage energy comparison. Watt-hours (Wh) are the more useful battery-energy measure when comparing systems that operate at different voltages.
Compatibility and inclusion are different
A product may be compatible with an accessory, mount, remote, battery, tail light, or connected-lighting feature without that item being included in the sold configuration. Always use the exact product page to confirm what comes with the product.
Beam pattern, mounting, controls, weather protection, and system architecture matter
Lumens measure light output, not where the light is placed or how the rider interacts with the system. Beam distribution, mount stability, direct controls, integrated versus external batteries, vehicle power, weather resistance, charging, and support all affect the ownership experience.
Current, outlet, refurbished, legacy, and reference products
NiteRider continues to sell some prior-generation, outlet, and refurbished products. A product being visible on NiteRider.com does not necessarily mean it is part of the current core inline family or available for direct online purchase. Law Enforcement / Public Safety products, for example, are maintained as reference products for departments, agencies, and dealers and are purchased through the dealer network.
Use the current family and category collections above to understand the present consumer lineup, the Law Enforcement page for public-safety systems, and the Outlet / Refurbished section when specifically shopping prior-generation or clearance products.
Outlet / Refurbished
Support and ownership
NiteRider maintains separate support resources because product selection, product operation, service, warranty, dealer purchasing, and agency procurement are different jobs:
-
FAQ — common operating, service, warranty, and ownership questions.
-
User Guides — manuals and model documentation.
-
Warranty & Returns — current warranty, repair, return, and RMA information.
-
Contact NiteRider — product, order, replacement-part, and technical-support help.
-
Find a Dealer — local dealer support, including Law Enforcement / Public Safety product configuration, agency quotes, and bid requests.
Reference rules
- The exact product page governs model-specific specifications, included items, mounting configuration, compatibility, SKU, and other product-level information.
- For standard ecommerce products, the exact product page governs live price and online availability.
- Law Enforcement / Public Safety products are reference products and are not represented by Shopify inventory as a direct-to-consumer availability signal. Contact a NiteRider dealer for current availability, agency pricing, configuration, quotes, and bid support.
- Where multiple Law Enforcement light configurations are documented under one public product page, the configuration SKU identifies the required agency version even though separate public Shopify products or selectors may not be shown.
- Compatibility does not imply inclusion. Check the exact product page for included mounts, remotes, batteries, wiring, tail lights, accessories, and other components.
- Where a product is specifically identified as built or assembled in Poway, California, that product-specific statement governs.
- Run times are approximate and may vary with conditions, temperature, battery age, state of charge, and use.
- Do not assume different brands use identical lumen, runtime, beam, or environmental test methods.
- Do not infer comparative superiority from a higher lumen number, larger mAh number, or longer claimed runtime alone.
- Current family pages and category collections should be used to distinguish current core products from outlet, refurbished, legacy, and reference-only products.
