Bottom line

The Knog Plug Front is a 250-lumen headlight with five modes. It comes with two rubber mounting bands fitting handlebars from 22-27mm or 27-32mm. Some owners find the straps fiddly. A tester finds the light robust, but there are no long-term reviews. The Plug Front provides good visibility to other road users during the day and night, but it's not bright enough to be a standalone light for unlit roads and trails. The beam is narrow, side visibility low, and the run time at full brightness is below average. But overall, experts feel the Plug Front is a solid option as a be-seen light.
