Our core team is comprised of brilliant solution-minded individuals that come together daily to create incredible products by hand, for you.

The idea for NightRide was born from a particularly nerve-racking ride that one of our founders, Shawn Groce, took a few years ago. On a moonless night in rural South Carolina, a group of friends were heading to a camp site when they realized the driver had missed a turn. Shawn and the other passengers, with only limited cell service and even more limited sight, spent the next 30 stressful minutes trying to help the driver navigate to their destination. The car’s standard headlights were no match for the darkness of those backcountry roads. Although he and his buddies eventually found the camp, Shawn was then ready to find a solution that could see beyond what standard headlights illuminate.

NightRide was founded to bring peace of mind, ease of use, and accessibility to all drivers, no matter what the driving conditions. Through our research, early adopters and community, we have been overwhelmed and delighted by the demand for our technology in areas we never anticipated before. Our mission has expanded to helping the world see beyond the scope of light and bring it into the future with infrared. Now operating in the hunting, farm & ranch, wildlife preservation, offroad, first responder, public safety, government, trucking and industrial markets and beyond!
