Blinder Mob Square

Knog was founded in Melbourne in March 2003 by Hugo Davidson and Malcolm McKechnie and built its reputation on the original silicone-strapped Frog light — a small LED that owners could thread onto any bar without tools. The Blinder family arrived around 2011 and made the brand mainstream: rechargeable USB lights with the same toolless silicone strap, eye-catching graphic flash patterns, and a finish that looked like a designer object rather than a bike accessory. The Blinder Mob Square sits in the middle of the current Blinder range. The defining feature is the COB (Chip On Board) LED panel arranged in a rounded-square grid, which produces a wide, even glow rather than a single bright dot, and an 8-mode flash pattern set that includes graphic 'Square' animations as well as conventional steady/flash. The integrated USB plug means there is no cable to lose — the whole light pops directly into a port to recharge. The classic Mob is available as an 80-lumen front (white) or ~44-lumen rear (red) unit, with claimed runtimes up to ~62 hours on eco-flash. (Knog's newer USB-C Blinder generation pushes the front to 200 lumens / 8 modes — a separate, later product.) It is a 'be seen' light intended for urban riding rather than a 'see the trail' light, and it competes with the Lezyne KTV / Femto and Bontrager Ion families at the same price point.
