Bottom line

The 200-lumen Knog Blinder Skull Front light is a bright and fun option for urban riding. Users are happy with the strong visibility it produces in traffic-ridden areas, letting them be seen from up to 1500 feet away. But because it isn’t directional, the Blinder Skull Front light doesn’t cast light on the path in front of the rider, in unlit outdoor locations. Knog says the light will last up to 60 hours on ‘Eco-Flash’ mode. From user experience, battery life can be as short as 2.5 hours on higher-power modes. By report, it’s durable. The provided straps fit around a variety of handlebar and headtube widths.
