Vancouver, BC—Waterproof Knog Blinder bike lights are now available at Canadian bike shops. The anodized aluminum front and rear lights look great on a bike and, as visitors discovered at Knog’s Canadian product preview last year, they shine bright in a beverage, too.
A visitor tests if a Knog Blinder bike light stays dry at the Canadian product launch in Vancouver.
Recounts Live to Play Sports product manager Sean Glass, “A few of us were chatting at the Blinder launch when Knog principal Mike Lelliott turned on a Blinder to demonstrate its brightness.”
“One bike shop owner looked doubtful about its waterproofness,” says Glass, “So I accidentally dropped a Blinder into her glass. She got so excited by the glowing effect that she showed it around the room.”
“By the end of the night, everyone’s drink had a bike light in it. It literally brightened up the event.”
What are Knog Blinder lights?
The award-winning design team at Australia’s Knog created the new, anodized alumimium-look LED Blinder cycling lights to be stylish, rugged, bright, waterproof, rechargeable, tools-free, and fun. Riders can choose from the tiny, single-LED Blinder 1 and the 4-LED Blinder 4. Both lights come in a variety of anodized colours (yellow, blue, red, gunmetal gray, silver, black and more) and face shapes (skull, heart, cog, flower, and more).
In Canada, Knog Blinder lights are available in front or rear styles from selected bike stores and specialty sports outlets.
