Product Information

Full details

The Knog Blinder 1400 + R-150 Bike Light Set is designed for all-road and gravel riders seeking enhanced visibility and illumination. Its key benefit is a powerful front light with precision optics for navigating low-light conditions, complemented by a bright rear light to ensure you are seen by others. A potential caveat is that the USB-C cable for the front light and the integrated USB-A for the rear light are not always readily available, requiring users to supply their own charging cables.

Does the Blinder 1400 + R-150 set come with charging cables?

Both lights feature intelligent button LEDs that indicate the battery level and charging status.

Troubleshooting

Front light won't turn on

Ensure the battery is charged. Press and hold the power button for a few seconds. Check if the battery indicator shows a charge.

Rear light not charging

Ensure the integrated USB-A connector is fully inserted into a powered USB port. Try a different USB port or power source. Clean the USB connector if it appears dirty.

Light output is dim

The battery may be low. Charge the light fully. If the issue persists, try a different light mode to see if the brightness increases.

Front light mount is loose

Re-tighten the screws on the GoPro mount or ensure the flex strap is securely fastened around the handlebar. For the GoPro mount, ensure it is compatible with your computer mount.

Rear light flickers unexpectedly

This may indicate a low battery. Charge the rear light. If the issue continues, try a different mode to see if the flicker stops.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional brightness from the front and rear lights enhances safety.
  • Long battery life, especially in lower power modes, is ideal for extended rides.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in various weather conditions.
  • Multiple mounting options provide flexibility for different bike setups.
  • Daytime visibility modes on both lights increase safety during daylight hours.
  • Waterproof rating means reliable performance in rain and wet conditions.

Cons

  • USB charging cables are not always included (front light requires USB-C).
  • The highest lumen settings significantly reduce battery life.
  • Aero seatpost compatibility for the rear light might require specific strap adjustments.
  • Integrated USB-A on the rear light means you need direct access to a USB port for charging.
  • GoPro mount on the front light may not fit all computer mounts without adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Front Light: Choose between the GoPro-style mount (underside of a computer mount) or the included flex strap mount for your handlebars (compatible with 22.2-35mm diameter bars). Securely attach the chosen mount, then slide the front light onto it until it clicks.
  2. Rear Light: Select the appropriate silicone strap (small or large) to fit your seat post (standard or aero, 22-32mm diameter). Thread the strap through the mounting point on the light and secure it tightly around the seat post.

Compatibility:

  • Front Light Mounts: Compatible with standard GoPro-style mounts. Optional Knog StVZO Handlebar Mount and Helmet Mount are available separately.
  • Rear Light Mounts: Compatible with standard round and most aero seat posts using the included straps.
  • Charging: Front light requires a USB-C cable (not included). Rear light has an integrated USB-A connector; simply plug it into a compatible USB port.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the lights with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: Store lights in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are fully charged periodically if storing for extended periods.
  • Waterproofing: While IP67 rated, avoid prolonged submersion in water. After riding in wet conditions, dry the lights thoroughly, especially around charging ports.
