Knog has announced a recall of early production runs of its Blinder 900 and Blinder 1300 front lights following reports of potential battery issues that may cause the units to fail.
“Customer safety is our absolute top priority,” said Mal McKechnie, Knog’s chief operating officer in a statement sent to the media. “While a recall is never ideal, we’re acting proactively to prevent any additional product failures.”
The Blinder 900 and 1300 sit at the higher-output end of Knog’s range. The 1300 is our current pick as the best all-round light for road cyclists.
