Helmet mounted taillights are an ideal way to ensure you remain visible in low light conditions. With their high mounting location, helmet lights are visible even in traffic or with other riders on the road. The Lazer Universal LED taillight is Lazer’s new helmet taillight that can be directly attached to all Lazer’s KinetiCore helmets or any helmet using an included velcro strap. The taillight has a retail price of $34.99 and is capable of 40 lumen output and up to 54 hour runtime. While the taillight has a simple four LED surface mounted design, Lazer has incorporated both a motion and ambient light sensor to allow the taillight to adjust its output in specific output modes.
While previous Lazer helmets such as the Lazer Urbanize used model-specific taillights, the Universal LED Taillight uses a new generic mount design. The mount looks like a USB-C port with a rounded rectangle cutout which can be found on all of their KinetiCore helmets. On the rear of the Universal LED Taillight you’ll find a matching rectangular protrusion with spring tabs built into it. To install the taillight you simply slide it into the slot and then rotate it 90 degrees like a Garmin quarter turn mount. Unlike model-specific taillights that sit flush inside the helmet, the Universal LED Taillight protrudes out of the helmet. While it’s a less integrated appearance, the external mounting does improve the side visibility of the taillight. The minimal slot design of the mount also means KinetiCore helmets like the Lazer Strada KinetiCore look normal without a taillight installed. You can also use the included Velcro strap to install the taillight on any helmet, as long as you can wrap the straps through a rear vent.
Visually, the Universal LED Taillight has a simple rectangular profile with semi-transparent red lens. There are four surface mounted LEDs uniformly spaced along the width of the taillight. The mostly transparent sides and curved lens mean the taillight has excellent side visibility from any angle. Instead of traditional USB ports which require bulky rubber covers, Lazer has incorporated a magnetic charging port on the bottom of the taillight. It’s a polished round metal interface with a small protruding pin in the center that allows the charging cable to simply snap in place. On the rear of the taillight is a thin plastic backing plate with the T shaped mounting attachment. Branding is limited to an embossed Z on the front and Lazer printed on the backing plate.
