Knog's Blinder Pro is a front light you can rely on

As a bike rider or commuter in winter, there are a few things that just make your heart sink. One is rain, because nothing makes the cold less pleasant quite like getting wet. Another is punctures, because getting cold and wet is one thing but then having to change a tube really is insult on top of injury. The third is getting ready for your ride home only to find that your lights dont have enough charge, thus begins the classic game of 'front light chicken' where they may or may not have enough juice left, so it becomes your legs versus the light battery to see which fails first. 

What we're trying to say is that a quality front light is an absolutely essential piece of kit for anyone who intends to ride in poor light conditions, whether that be early morning/late evening rides during Spring and Summer, or basically any time of day in the UK in Autumn or Winter. 

Coming in 600, 900 or 1300-lumen varieties, the real beauty of the Blinder Pro is the battery technology which gives you a run time of 2hrs (or 90mins for the 1300) on full brightness. That's a legit two hours, as well, not 100mins of brightness and 20mins of the light dying slowly. That also means that you can get 120hrs of run time on Eco Flash mode, making the light equally perfect for anyone who rides or commutes in well lit areas because you'll only need to charge it about once a month!

In terms of beam pattern, the Blinder Pro provides illumination focused on the road or trail ahead, making the most of those lumens and directing them where you want them. On full power, it can light up the road up to 100m ahead (depending on model) so you can always see what's coming. There are 6 light modes in total, and the unit is USB-C rechargeable 

One of the best parts of the Blinder Pro package is the mounting options. Out of the box you get the touch rubber strap to fix the light above or underneath your handlebars, but you also get the GoPro-style mount which means you can attach the light underneath your out-front mount (like a K-Edge) for the neatest possible cockpit setup. 

If you like the look of the Knog Blinder Pro, you can buy them right here on Freewheel. The pricing is strong, too, starting from just £59.99 for the 600-lumen light up to £99.99 for the 1300-lumen. Knog also has a top quality range of rear lights, too, like the Blinder or the Cobber, which are definitely worth checking out and they're available as double packs, as well, which work out slightly cheaper if you buy the two together rather than individually.
