Knog has just announced a new range of commuter and entry level lights, in addition to output boosts for the popular Blinder Road and ARC ranges. Each light features a variant of Knog’s tool free silicone strap mount, and will come in an array of hues.

The new Blinder MOB range borrows a few cues from the Blinder 4, but with some key differences. Each of the Blinder MOB lights features a new compression-moulded silicone strap that Knog says is stronger than the previous version. Knog also provides multiple strap sizes, and a combined V and O-shaped housing, so you can use the lights on everything from small bars to aero posts.

“Each of the five MOB lights have their own unique flash pattern, their own look, and most importantly, their own beam. All but one include a reflective face too,†explained Hugo Davidson, CEO and lead designer at Knog.

The five ‘Personalities’ in the range come in front, rear, and vertical rear formats, and are available in a plethora of colours. Each $49.95 light features an 80 lumen output, integrated USB rechargeable lithium polymer battery, and a max battery life of over 55 hours on flashing mode – all at a claimed weight of just 35-37g.

  • Eyeballer is single LED and casts a beam – great for badly lit bike paths or commuting through rural areas.
  • Four Eyes with four LEDs is an all-rounder for the ‘burbs to urban commute.
  • The Face is similar four LEDs but with a faceplate for added style.
  • Kid Grid has 16 LEDs and a very wide beam. An attention-grabber, perfect for inner city streets.
  • Mr Chips – so-called for the Chips On Board (COB) multi-LED, which gives off a glow from a panel of light. It's ideal for use in traffic – be that cars coming at you from the side, or to soften the glare for your mates in the peloton.
