Our opinion and pics
The Knog Blinder Arc light is really strong, better than others, if are searching for a "serious" light to ride in bad conditions (night, rain...), then maybe this light is your best choice. You will be visible and you will see, the most important!
Maybe it is heavy weight compared with other bike lights, but the specifications of this light are amazing.
Highly recommended for "serious riders".
