Thanks for the followup (link corrected). Regarding brightness, they really are bright though I know the Cygolite style, I run a comparable style of light on my roadbike. One thing that a forum member trialed and confirmed was that if a rear light is too bright, it can be distracting for other traffic and the KNOG rear is not as bright as the front.

Another interesting one is that if you have the chance to run two lights, one steady and one blinking, this means that cars can judge your distance (steady) and better notice you (flashing), and would be an idea for one of the blinder modes as it already has four LEDs.

Good review but expensive lights. For a rear light something like the Cygolite Hotshot would be better value, it also has USB charging and is much brighter.

Also the link in your post doesn’t work.
