7 reasons to buy
- Experts praise the “eye-catching” flashing patterns, saying they effectively increase visibility.

- Experts appreciate the daytime visibility. The Blinder R-150 has an angled LED that corrects for the seatpost’s angle to increase visibility at distance.

- The Blinder R-150 is waterproof.
4 reasons not to buy
- The power button faces the seatpost when mounted, so it may be difficult to push with gloves on.
- Experts feel nine modes is overkill, saying it’s time-consuming to cycle through them.
- The plastic part that hooks the rubber band seems fragile. Three buyers report it breaking after a couple of uses.
- The USB charging connector doesn’t have a cover and is exposed to the elements.
Bottom line
Knog’s Blinder R-150 is a 150-lumen taillight with nine modes. It fits standard and aero seatposts from 22mm to 33mm in diameter. The light earns praise for its unique flashing patterns, though cycling through the nine modes is time-consuming. The daytime visibility, runtimes, and side-on visibility also impress. The Blinder R-150 charges cable-free thanks to the integrated USB connector. However, the connector doesn’t have a cover to protect it from moisture, debris, or scratches. The other major complaint is the fragile plastic fastener. But overall, owners and testers consider the Blinder R-150 a sleek, well-made, and affordable rear light.Expert Reviews
