Lupine Lights and Headlamps – Turn Night into Day With
Lupine – Design & Development, Made in Germany
As is so often the case, Lupine was born as a solution to a personal problem. Back in 1991, Wolf-Dieter Koch was looking for a light that would be bright enough for him to go on high-speed mountain bike rides at night. Since the products available were unsatisfactory, Wolf-Dieter Koch founded the company Lupine, with the aim of producing high-quality lights. The company name Lupine is derived from the Latin word for wolf (Lupus), thus referencing the name of the company’s founder, and the wolf character can also be seen in the company’s logo.
At the start of the 2000s, Lupine was already beginning to kit battery lights out with LED technology, while the competition was still relying entirely on halogen. Five years later and all Lupine bike lights were equipped with LEDs, and Lupine is still regarded as the pioneer of LED technology in this field to this day.
With Lupine, you get innovative high-end bike lights, helmet lights, headlamps and torches produced through excellent workmanship for use on your outdoor adventures.
The following Lupine lights are available for dark evening activities and night rides:
- Lupine bike lights
- Lupine e-bike lights
- Lupine headlamps
- Lupine helmet lights
- Lupine torches
