I really like the brightness, and the ease of use, however the button on it doesn't work any longer if the casing is on. I have to hit it at an odd angle, or take it out of it's casing and use my keys to push the button it to make it go on. Slightly inconvenient, but besides that nice lights. The other light my friend has works no problem. Maybe they'll fix this problem in the future?

I have two Frogs on the front, one Frog and a Gecko on the rear, plus a Cateye. I have a Bullfrog, but it's incompatible with my brake cables so it's on my wifes bike. One of the things I like about them is the ease with which they transfer from bike to bike, or into your pocket or bag. I'm a fan of all the new LED lights because they've brought the cost and simplicity of effective lighting down. Biking to work at 5 AM, I’m a little obsessed with visibility.

I'd like to ask you to contact me at my direct email address to further discuss and would like to ask you to be the first tester of a new product to see if we can redeem some faith. If you say no - no problem and no questions asked. If you say yes, great let's give it a go. You can contact me directly at suzayotte@earthlink.net. Thanks, Suzette Dan

They just weren't bright enough, I remember being out riding around with people I know who use them and I couldn't see their lights! My lady was hit by a car from behind while in the bike lane using them. I wouldn't use Knog lights again, I prefer the Planetbike Blaze and SuperFlash, been using those for 53 weeks and only changed the batteries twice.
