BE SEEN with a single device made from aerospace grade steel that allows you to skate at night with confidence.
Ekick Technologies are striving to bring safety to the skate- and longboarding community. That’s why they created the Torpedo Lights Mark IV (TLM4), a highly functional light device for nighttime skating. The TLM4 is designed to move with you whether you're into pushing around or more technical tricks (like gnarly standup slides). If you happen to get caught in the rain, the waterproof steel unibody design has got you covered. 

Traditionally, skaters use reflective gear or a taped flashlight on their helmets to protect themselves from vehicles at night, but this isn't always effective in marking their presence on the road. Torpedo Lights can be seen from a distance and allow you to ride the streets with confidence, reducing your risk of collisions. The headlights span a range of 6 feet in the front and 6 feet on the sides. This allows you to spot potholes or any upcoming obstructions.

The TLM4 was designed to be ergonomic: compact, lightweight, and water-resistant. Installation is designed to be quick and easy with mounting channels on the device for placement between the board and trucks. The powerful front headlights provide a long visibility range of the road ahead. Bright red taillights with a horizontal wingspan of 3 feet on each side and 330 degrees of light projection alert nearby drivers and pedestrians of your presence. Torpedo Lights will make your skate home a safer and more immersive experience.

Unibody Casing:  Aerospace grade chromoly steel
