Knog, based in Australia, builds lights with a distinctive and stylish design using silicone rubber to encase each light and strap it onto the bike. Although originally known for the tiny low-powered be-seen Frog lights, Knog now produces a full range of bike lights ranging from the smallest USB rechargeable taillight to intense headlights putting out hundreds of lumens.
Knog Blinder
Knog's blinder series are mid-level safety lights, putting out more light than their basic wrap-around lights but not enough to illuminate the entire road, like their Blinder Road and Arc series lights. Most Blinder lights are made out of metal with a silicone backing that wraps around the handlebars and snaps in place with a small clasp, adjusting to almost any handlebar shape or size. The lights are all rechargeable with a built-in USB plug that folds out of the light — no cable required.

The Blinder 4V has identical specs to the regular Blinder 4 tail light, but has its lights arranged in a vertical configuration instead of a square configuration.

The Blinder 4 Rear is physically identical to the Blinder 4 headlight, but carrying red LEDs. We have not specifically reviewed the Blinder 4 Rear, but it should work the same as its front-facing partner, linked below.

The Knog Blinder 1 Rear is nearly identical to the Knog Blinder 1 Front, although it puts out slightly less light. The light only puts out 11 lumens, so it's best used as a backup/emergency light, not as a primary light for people riding frequently at night.

The Blinder 1 is the smallest light in the Blinder series, weighing just 15 grams with a single LED. It's best used as an emergency light just in case you get stuck out after dark, or for people riding short distances on well-lit streets. Although the flash patterns are very attention-grabbing, the light is too small for use in darker areas.

Knog Frog
Knog's Frog series lights are the original "itty bitty silicone lights", designed to wrap around the handlebars for quick removal. These lights are best used as a backup light just in case you get stuck out at night — they're not designed to light up the path and likely aren't bright enough for frequent night time rides. They are cheap, portable, and easy to use though, making them a good choice for a light to keep in your bag just in case for when you aren't expecting to be out at night.
