Excellent and elegant light
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Versatile
"This is a great light with a very nice design-I'd even go so far as to say elegant. It fits my classic Italian road bike nicely. Much sleeker than any other brands. The light is also easy to put on and take off so no worries about them being nicked."

Super bright
Pros: Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"This compact light is powered on AA batteries, which I like because I do not have to depend on a proprietary battery (which would be expensive and difficult to procure). I can swap out rechargeable batteries whenever I need to.
The light is comprised of a hard plastic case that sits inside the soft rubber cover. Both the plastic case and the rubber cover look like they provide a fair bit of protection from water and the rubber cover will protect the light from impact, if you ever drop it. I had a hard time opening the plastic case the first time, but eventually got it. Hopefully the batteries won't need to be replaced all that often. The strap seems very secure.
The LED is super bright.
For the tail light I would have liked to have a little more light shine out the sides for better visibility from the sides.
All in all, a very good light, well worth the value."

Pros: Great Value, Rugged, Lightweight, Good Fit
"I got this light to replace a Knog Skink which didn't survive a particulalrly wet ride. My road bike has no mud guards so the light gets hit with a lot of water so I didn't want anything too expensive or bulky. This fits the bill nicely, it is not a waterproof light so I expect it to drown at some point.
A very bright LED, quick and easy to attach to a seat tube. As with a lot of silicon style lights changing the battery can be a bit fiddly, but once you have done it a couple of times you get used to it."

Booming rear light
Pros: High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Bulky
"The Knog lights are great as they grip on to your bike just about anywhere and are easily fitted and removed to avoid theft. The rear boomer emits a bright (blinding if you do it near your face) red flash that will make sure drivers will see you.
The only down-side is that it does take up a fair bit of realestate on the seatpost, and if you've got a seat-bag or ride with a seatpost-mounted rack, then the light can be obscured."

A lights a light right?
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable
"This is a fantastic little light. Easy to install, and works great. Random flash pattern is great as i think it will help get noticed at night. Very good bright LED.
Only thing now is to see how long a set of batteries last on it.
Only thing that i could think to make this better is if it had a red reflector on it just in case you ever leave it on and need to ride it without the battery at night.."

be carefull.....
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Low Quality, Wears Out Easily, Poor Fit, design fault, does not like the wet
"Looks great on first inspection, I thought, this one would laugh at the rain, but sadly, it does not pass the wet ride test.... Longevity seems to depend on how much you take it out in the rain; mine lasted about 5 months. you can eek it out if you dismantle it completely when you get back home, remove the batteries & put it in a warm place to dry out - Although mine still works, not all modes are now availble & if you don't remove the batteries overnight, they are dead in the morning when you want to use it again! I suspect the electronics module has suffered from the soakings i have been giving it.
It is a Bit more sucure on the bike than the front version, lost that one under a bus after only a couple of days.
top tip:- either don't ride in the wet, or buy something else!"

Review 11 for Knog Boomer 1 LED Rear Light
Overall:

Date:August 30, 2011
Take two...
Pros: Attractive, good idea in principle
Cons: Expensive, can pop off fairly easily, requires v strong fingers to wrap strap properly
"After having the brackets -- without the actual lighs, I might add -- of my previous bike lights nicked off my bike I thought Knog lights were the perfect solution: light + bracket all-in-one. And they were the perfect solution... until the rear light popped off, I suspect whilst I was cycling through the steeplechase of London's many lovely potholes and/or road bumps. I found the rear light the first time in happened; I wasn't so lucky the second.
Perhaps my fault for not having clipped the rear light on properly -- It takes an iron strength in your fingers to do so... and I'm only little! Expensive to replace (thank goodness they're on sale at the moment!). Just ordered a new rear light. Will see how that goes..."

Brilliant
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Versatile, Good Fit
"Does exactly what i wanted it to. It's bright, it has a few different settings.
I like the fact that it takes AAA batteries which are much easier to buy (like in a sweet shop) than the CR 2032 needed for the Knog Beetle light I have for the front."

Not waterproof
Pros: Attractive, Good Fit
Cons: Low Quality
"I love the concept of these - a powerful rear light with the convenience and style of Knog's rubber mounts.
However, within a week of purchase mine got water inside the electronics and didn't work afterwards.
Until they improve the water resistance I can't recommend this light."

Knog. BOOM!
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
"Absolutely awesome light. Literally blinding up close and good vision from further away too. Have taken it out in the rain a few times and thus far I've found no issues. Would be very tight fit on anything other than standard size tubing. But being silicon it does stretch.
Otherwise, stoked with the purchase."
