Be Seen From Every Angle
Fibre Flare has been redefining bicycle visibility through innovative 360° fibre optic lighting technology, since 2008. Unlike conventional rear bike lights that project light in a single direction, Fibre Flare produces an illuminated fibre optic tube that dramatically increases visibility from behind and from the side—where many cycling collisions occur.
Designed for road cyclists, gravel riders, commuters and anyone riding in low-light conditions, Fibre Flare helps riders stand out when visibility matters most.
What Makes Fibre Flare Different?
Traditional rear bike lights create a concentrated point of light behind the rider. Fibre Flare takes a completely different approach.
Using a hybrid fibre optic LED system, the light is distributed evenly along a flexible illuminated tube, creating highly visible 360-degree illumination that can be seen from multiple angles. This improves side visibility at intersections, roundabouts and urban environments where conventional rear lights can be difficult to see.
The latest Fibre Flare UP is brighter than previous generations, offers visibility beyond 400 metres, features five lighting modes and is USB rechargeable for everyday convenience.
