Blinder 1300 Front Bike Light

S
Sukru Kaymakcalan
Flexible light

Fastest light I’ve used to switch between bar and go-pro options. I can switch between bikes very easily and the cam action on the go-pro fitting means I don’t have to unscrew the main attachment when I want to charge and or cycle out the light. Light output itself as expected, that is great!

Could not be happier

I purchased the Blinder 1300 in Nov 2024. Just recently received a recall email and went through the process. A replacement 1300 was delivered in a few days.
I personally did not have any issue with the previous Blinder 1300 but I understand the potential risk of a defective battery and fire risk. I thought flames should come out of the back not the front. :-)
I have used the Blinder 1300 many times and it provides great illumination and I usually do not have it on the highest setting.
Great service with recall and replacement. I also have a rear light R-150 which I am very happy with as well.
I had a little bit of an issue with the rubber handlebar mount rotating on bumps, but switch to a more secure (gopro) clamp, problem solved.

Recalled shortly after receipt

I have another 1300 and it’s a great light. I ordered a second one and received an email indicating a possible problem with the battery so it was recalled. Knog is providing a replacement, so kudos to them for identifying the issue and making it easy.

Dark no more!

'light up the night and demand attention during the day with Blinder 1300.'

It's Simply The Best Front Light In Its Class

Set apart by considered design and innovative features.

Rock-Solid Mounting Options

Includes two seperate mounts; a tough and flexible rubber handlebar mount that fits diameters from 22.2mm to 35mm, and a Go-Pro style mount to mount the light below your computer or to a compatible helmet mount.

Industry Leading Battery Technology

Blinder 1300 is powered by a 21700 3.7V lithium ion battery. This technology provides best-in-class power-to-weight ratio, meaning you get to enjoy a more compact design with longer runtimes than most other lights in this category.

Road Optimised Beam Optics

An innovative and considered design combines three wide beam optics with three narrow beam optics to provide high quality illumination for up to 120 m. At the optimum angle of 23 degrees, you get more light where you want it.

Intelligent Silicone Button

An LED light around Blinder's soft touch silicone button allows you to quickly see remaining charge and the charging status. A quick press of the button when it's off shows you remaining charge, with green being 100-50% charge remaining, yellow 50-25%, and red under 25%. When charging, a yellow flash indicates the light is being charged, which turns green when full.
