Knog Blinder V Traffic Bike Taillight Review - feat. 100 Lumen + Built-in USB-A Connector + COB LED

Knog is well known for their unique and attractive bike headlights and taillights. The new Blinder V series continues that legacy by incorporating their popular design elements with the latest COB LED technology. In this review we’ll be looking at the Blinder V Traffic which has a traffic light style three block pattern. Knog also offers a Blinder V Bolt variation which has nearly identical specifications but has a lightning bolt illumination pattern. Retail price on Blinder V lights is $49.95 and they are capable of upto 100 lumen output from the COB LED setup. A clever built-in USB-A connector in the mount eliminates the need for charging cables. There are eight unique output modes that trigger the three blocks of LEDs in different patterns as well as upto 50 hour runtime. As with other Knog taillights, the Blinder V uses a clever rubber o-ring style mount with a twist. Instead of just having plastic hooks on both sides and a flexible rubber o-ring, Knog attaches a plastic and metal clasp to one side of the o-ring which fits over a hook. This modified design provides a more secure fit than just an o-ring. The mount itself even features a USB-A connector built into it which is a clever detail. The Blinder V can be used on standard round or aero seatposts thanks to the circular center cutout (i.e. similar to the Magicshine Seemee 180), a flexible side hook and three different length o-rings provided. It’s a nice detail to see which allows the taillight to be mounted on most bikes. A non-slip rubber coating on the rear of the taillight prevents the Blinder V from moving around. Our only complaint is that there is no angle adjustment or built in angle offset to account for the fact that seat posts are angled backwards. That means the Blinder V sits parallel to your seatpost instead of being perpendicular to the ground. With a V profile, the Blinder V was designed to be a sleek and aerodynamic rear taillight. It’s a clear evolution of the Knog Mob V with the same rectangular profile and large front face. The most obvious improvement with the Blinder V is the use of a COB (circuit on board) LED design which has multiple small LEDs embedded into the face. Not only does this setup look sleeker, but it creates a more uniform and attractive illumination pattern. Knog offers two versions of the Blinder V, the Traffic that we have here and the Bolt which has a bolt illumination pattern. The reason this is called the “Traffic” is because the three block illumination pattern is inspired by traffic lights which have a red / yellow / green pattern. ...
