[cyclingmad]

has anyone bought a knog boomer , has yours been working properly ?
mine hasnt interested to see your finding of this bicycle light.

 

[Red Light]

I like the Knog design but I've not had good experiences with them. The switches either stop working or become so sensitive they switch when you breathe on them. Thats with the Gekkos though

i have now taken the light back and swopped it ,now on no.4 within 10months this is why i ask has anyone else had problem with boomer knog ,every time it is the switch that after a red light keeps appearing with the white light still showing ,then the light finally gives up and stays on permanently .
are there anygood lights anyone can recommend as ithink i must give up on knog .,absolute - - - -.

I had a Frog strobe which ran down at twice the speed it was advertised at so I emailed Knog and they shipped me a replacement from Australia. So good customer service but dodgy designs.

I've got a Knog Toad as a backup flasher, and it doesn't like rain - despite there being seals - the slightest moisture and it packs in. Easy to dry on the radiator though.

I have also had problems with Knogs. Great idea/design but they don't last long. Not quite cutting the mustard sadly.
