Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Knog Blinder Skull Rear. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
8 reasons to buy
- The Skull’s super-bright 100-lumen output is above average for a small light.
- No bones about it. On this light, every mode but 1 features a Skull logo.
- On ‘Eco-Flash’ mode, Knog says the Skull Blinder can last for 55 hours.
- The Skull comes with a choice of o-rings, to fit a range of seatpost sizes.
- There are 8 modes available on the Blinder Skull Rear light.
- Charging does not require a cord or bung, thanks to the Skull’s USB ‘tongue’.
- Some light is emitted through the sides of the Skull light, giving peripheral visibility.
- Knog rate the Skull as waterproof (IP67). A tester says it’s well-sealed.
6 reasons not to buy
- A reviewer feels that buyers pay a premium for the Skull design.
- One tester says the Skull logo is only visible up to 33 feet away.
- The Skull’s batteries are not replaceable.
- An expert sees Knog’s 2-year warranty as being on the shorter side.
- Owners say there is no protection over the face of the Skull Blinder light.
- Users lament that this light uses the older, slower USB-A standard and that the charge indicator light is difficult to see.
Bottom line
When it comes down to it, there are comparable alternatives to this light that are available at a lower price. But are any as rad as the Knog Blinder Skull? Doubtful. Users and reviewers both say it’s very bright and clearly visible, but probably not as a skull when you’re further than 33 feet away. It comes with an array of rubber o-rings, to wrap around a range of seatpost sizes. Apparently, it’s waterproof. There are 7 skull-modes and one standard mode, with Knog claiming a 55-hour runtime on the ‘eco-flash’ setting. Like many users, your mileage may vary.
