Knog Frog Strobe Rr Bike Lights Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had read a lot of reviews about this item and most of them said these little Knog Strobe lights were difficult to use or broken.
Straight out of the package there are instructions that tell you to take the batteries out and remove a small slip of paper in between them. This most likely prevents them from turning on while in shipment. I noticed fiddling with it that the light came on for a split second even while the paper was in between the batteries before I had taken it off. I pressed down on the top (to turn it on) and probably resulted in a weak connection between the batteries around the edges. Maybe this is the reason a lot of people said their Knog was broken or couldn't get it to work properly at first.
The next complaint I read was that the lights turn on a lot in their backpacks. So far I have only had one of mine turn on once, but I have to argue that this is a pretty common problem with most lights. I used to have a Planet Bike brand beamer and tail light and they'd always turn on while in my bag. I'd say that it really depends on how you handle your backpack (I'm pretty rough) and that you should just make a habit of checking your lights when you get to your location and put your bag down. The buttons aren't finicky at all or difficult to press down like some reviewers said. They do take a moderate amount of pressure that just rolling around in your backpack generally wouldn't click them on, but not enough to have to fidget with it every time. There is a "click" sound when the button is pressed to leave any doubts about whether you pressed it correctly or not behind.
The last complaint I read was about the 5 different options for blinking style. One other reviewer posted the solution: select the blinking style you like (I like the steady even blink) and then when you turn of your light every time just hold down the button until it turns off and it will effectively save that style's position. Every time you turn it on after that it will start on that blinking style. You have to be sure to hold it down every time you turn it off though or it will lose the setting (and start back at the first style again).
Overall, the lights fit snug around my handlebars and seatpost and I have not had any dead batteries yet. I just wanted to clear up some misconceptions I saw on here.
