DALLAS,
TEXAS – HEADSPIN Outdoors, a Dallas-based
innovative outdoor product company, introduced its disruptive adventure
lighting system earlier this year after a successful Kickstarter campaign and
has since been welcomed with open arms by the outdoor industry.
The
company breaks the mold of adventure lighting with the unveiling of HEADSPIN, a
multi-functional, convertible light system that touts a patented magnetic SPINDOCK
technology
– the connection mechanism between the light and its various mounts. The current lighting kit includes a headlamp mount,
flashlight mount, rail mount, which can be used on boat rails, roof racks, or
bicycle handlebars, and a wall charging station.
Additionally,
the light unit itself can magnetically connect to any ferrous metallic surface
and be used as a task light for anything from setting up camp after the sun
goes down to tailgating before a late kickoff.
The
company was founded by Chris
Grider
– an SMU Cox School of Business alum and accomplished Dallas real estate
development professional. Grider left that world to follow his entrepreneurial
spirit to develop HEADSPIN.
“The
Dallas business community has been incredibly supportive throughout our early
stages of product development,” said Grider. “While there aren’t many young consumer
product companies in Dallas, we have found good company and inspiration in
those that call the DFW home.”
HEADSPIN
formed after years of experiencing the all-too-common frustrations of owning
multiple, single-purpose lighting products and the associated battery types and
sizes needed to power them.
“This
technology changes the game when it comes to usability and functionality of a
typical light,” said Grider. “We found ourselves asking the same questions over
and over – which lights do we pack? How many batteries do we need? What types
of batteries do we need? Why do we keep buying and discarding standard alkaline
batteries? How do we efficiently pack all these lights? When we couldn’t find
the solution we were looking for – we built one. Instead of many lights for
many activities, we’ve created a system by which one light now has unlimited
uses.”
The
management team is excited about further pioneering advancements in adventure
lighting. Grider says the kit is only the beginning, as the team is
currently designing the next series of mounts for release in 2020.
HEADSPIN
is currently stocked in more than 70 independent specialty retail locations
across the country and growing quickly. For more information visit headspinoutdoors.com. For product
