"These are awesome little lights. They beat any other bike lights I've used in the past. They're small, light, ultra easy to remove and attach to your handlebars, they're robust, drop them and they're not gonna break like a lot of lights would.
My commute includes a ~5mi stretch of country roads, with little or no street lighting for the most part, and these little beauties light up my way perfectly. They're not as bright as some of the high-end bike lights, but they're certainly bright enough. They have 3 modes, 2 flashing and 1 constant. The constant is perfect for seeing what's ahead of you, and it's very easy just to push the button to flashing mode when there's traffic approaching.
They also look great. If you want a clean look to your bike, then these are spot on, no ugly handlebar mounts, and no garishly large fugly light; just simple, clean and schaweeeet.
And at around £15, there great value, you can't go wrong.
Los Perros Cojones of bike lights."

The gekko has landed.....
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"Having tri-bars on my bike I've not much room left for the front light and have been looking for a solution for ages.
FINALLY!!!!!!! The Knog gekko came across me and it fits the bill on all counts. It's made of silicon so sticks like glue to pretty much anything. It takes about 30 seconds to install. I bought the 3 LED version but the 2 LED would have ben enough as they are that bright. So far the battery life is good, it's waterproof (tested by my 3 yr old by throwing in the bath) and it's light and low profile, so no bulky light in your rucksack / pocket during the day. You can take it with you and comes off the bike in 30 seconds also.
I could go on all day about it, but suffice to say that every now and again a product comes along that really is too good to be true."

Knog Gekko LED light
Pros: Adjustable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile
Cons: not a directional beam
"Very bright LEDs with three modes (front light) of on, 1 sec flash and strobe, all of which catch other road users' eyes. The rear light has 5 modes which are varied, bright and preserve battery life.
Good value, robust, bright, lightweight lights that fit almost anywhere with their flexible easy and quick-fitting system. A good comuter light to be seen for safety, but not a directional beam for green lanes or down-hilling at dusk or dark. Great for their intended role and use."

Be Seen Light
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight, Good Fit
"This light does a neat job as an attention grabber
I was looking for a compact attention grabber for the summer , my bulky Cateye seems like overkill in these lighter months
The dinky size and ease of attachment fits the bill perfectly.At first I was not confident about the strength of output and whether I would be noticed. A quick comparison by shining at a house window from the end of the garden soon sorted that query
I would not expect the Knog to illuminate a dark country road . The clever battery life indicator is a welcome bonus
Overall very pleased, especially at the offer price"

Bright light
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Excellent 'Be seen' light. Three light modes controlled by one easy to reach button. Light weight and easy to fit with its stretchy band fixing. waterproof and robust. If I'm planning a long day (100 miles +) or the weather is poor then this will always go with me."

Pleasantly surprised
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile
"For the cost, this is a very handy little light, surprisingly bright. I don't use it for long hours of darkness, moreso just before dawn, and around dusk.
I like its no fuss mounting - I shift it from bike to bike without a hassle.

Just what I needed
Pros: Attractive, Adjustable, Lightweight
"There's nothing special about the light itself, and I haven't had it long enough to judge the quality of the switch, which in my experience is the component which usually cracks up in these sorts of lights. However, what I really appreciate about the Knog range is the attach-anywhere, rapid-release mechanism. Makes it so handy to carry in my pocket as an emergency light that can be attached anywhere within seconds without reliance on a pre-fixed beacket. Also, it's just the ticket for a Brompton, where the tolerance margins for additional gear are so tight re. the folding-up procedure: you can just pop this on any convenient bit of the bike, and take it off pre-folding."

Good little lights
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Adjustable, Good Fit
"The Knog Gekko is a nice bright little light. I wanted something very quick to change from bike to bike so there little beauties work well. 2 x AAA batteries front and back are always in the cupoboard.
Highly recommend.

Great Bike Light! Must Buy!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"The evenings are beautifully long right now, ideal for getting in some after-work rides or weekend all-dayers. This new Knog Gekko LED Front Light is perfect for sticking on for a bit of illumination insurance should you over-run the sun. It is a great strap on light and the styling is retro chic, if you can still call things retro... It’s certainly not a case of form over function as the lights work efficiently and will not let you down in a pinch. Constructed of water resistant silicon, the Gekkos are extremely durable. They feel like a resilient Fisher Price toy, and will certainly take some abuse. The built-in stretchy silicon mounting strap can fix the light to bars, head tubes, forks and seatposts with equal ease."

Dissapointed
Cons: Expensive, Low Quality, Wears Out Easily, breaks when changing batteries
"Had heard good things about knog lights. Unfortunatley this one stopped working after 6 months. It appears that the LED unit inside the flexible outer is a very cheap unit. I think it broke when removing the LED unit to change the batteries.
Would recommend being very careful when changing batteries.
Overall it was very cheap nasty little unit that was marketed as something better.

Great light- one minor problem
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"This is a really great light in terms of performance. Attachment is as easy as any bracketed light and having no bracket means it's obviously really easy to change between different bikes. My only problem with this light is that it's a bit too easy to turn it on accidentally. The on button is a bit too easy to knock if you put it in a pocket or bag. Other than that great product."

Pros: Durable, Great Value, Lightweight, Good Fit, bright
"I've just swapped to these after realising that the single LED version was nearly invisible. This feels like a lighthouse in comparison and fits the irregular shaped tubes of my tri-bike well."

Good for being Seen
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Rugged, Good Fit
"Good light for being seen and navigating where there are street lights.
Not quite powerful enough for seeing by as beam is not strong enough but you can beat it for price.
Stick to the lit roads and it's pefect

Crackning Knog
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"Both the front and back 3 led Knogs are great.
I bought them as extra lights to throw on bikes or in a bag for a gloomy evening, or as backup for when other lights fail.
They're relatively bright, but more importantly very versatile and fit on all kinds of parts of the bike. They are also waterproof and easy to remove so no cheeky git nicks them off your locked bike!"

Great set of lights!!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged, Good Fit
"Great set of lights. No messing about with bracket to change between bikes. Fits both retro narrow diameter bars to the wider modern carbon bars.
As for the brightness of the lights I cannot grumble considering the price. Best to use in addition to current lights, though they are are bright a my set of Cateyes, which were 3x the price!!
So pleased with them, I've ordered the same rear lights."

Good bit of kit
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Adjustable
Cons: Bulky
"The light is very bright and has plenty of modes,
It takes up quite a lot of bar space though, so more suited to mountain bikes and things with big bars.
