Plus is Knog's most versatile light: a 17-gram front light that sits on a magnetic mount on your handlebar, head tube or fork, or comes off and clips on to clothing, a helmet or a backpack. It puts out 40 lumens, can be seen from up to 450 metres away according to Knog, and charges by plugging straight into a USB-A port.

Charging and battery
There's no cable to lose: take the light off its magnetic mount and plug its integrated USB-A connector straight into a USB port. A red ring around the button shows while it charges and turns off when it's full, and it lights up again when the battery is running low. Charge time is 2 hours, and the Chip on Board LEDs hold maximum brightness for up to 90% of the battery burn time.
Compatibility & fit
This is the front light only; the Plus Twinpack pairs the 40-lumen front with the 20-lumen rear. Knog lists a fit of 22–32 mm+ diameter handlebars. Two straps come with the mount: small for 22–27 mm and large for 28–32+ mm. Spare mounts and straps are sold separately.
Knog gives all its products a two-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering defective hardware, software faults and factory defects. It doesn't cover ordinary wear and tear or damage caused by improper use or accidents. Knog's Plus quick start guide adds that the battery is covered for six months against manufacturing defects only, not battery deterioration. This cover is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Keep your proof of purchase. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Knog's Australian distributor.
