The Knog Blinder taillights have been a popular series thanks to their creative illumination pattern and sleek form factor. With the new Knog Blinder R-150, Knog has taken the Blinder series to a new level by incorporating a dedicated focused LED on top of the COB LEDs to improve long-distance visibility. The Blinder R-150 retails for $ and offers an impressive 150 lumen output. Knob has combined a multi-channel COB LED along with a single focused LED to ensure the taillight is visible from close and far distances equally well. There are nine creative output modes to choose from which offer runtimes from 2.5 (burn mode) to 50 hours (eco mode). Knog has also incorporated some clever features such as a cable-free design with a built-in USB-A connector on the mount. The Knog Blinder R-150 utilizes their familiar flexible hinge with rubber strap design that is integrated into the base of the taillight. There are three rubber strap options from small to large which cover seatpost diameters from 22-32 mm and even aero seatposts. Attached to the rubber strap is a plastic clip with a metal rod that hooks onto a corresponding notch on the other side of the mount. Surprisingly, there is no angled rubber pad on the rear of the taillight which means the R-150 sits flat against the seatpost and not parallel to the road like most taillights. As a clever detail, Knog has incorporated a USB-A connector into one side of the mount. It’s connected to an articulating arm which allows it to easily be plugged into a USB port, a much more accessible location than the Knog Blinder Road headlights, for charging or flexing around a seatpost. The Knog Blinder R-150 is a purpose-built light that is specifically designed for road cyclists. With its dual-lighting element design Knog has added this bottom focused LED to ensure the taillight is visible even from long distances. Otherwise the Blinder R-150 has a familiar slim rectangular profile with an extended lens for side visibility as the Knog Blinder Traffic and other variations. This is a one-piece design with the mount directly molded into the rear of the taillight. The rear of the taillight has a rubber coating which prevents the R-150 from scratching seatposts and makes it easier to handle. As with other Knog products, the rubber coating is a dust magnet which makes it difficult to keep the rubber looking clean.... ...
