Description:
Then Knog 605 is the high-end light of the Knog line. It features a nicely styled light head with three LEDs. The aluminum and rubber casing is bonded together nicely and the rubber mounting strap is integrated into the light head. The first two LEDs serve the function of lighting up the trail. The third light is good as a map-reading light and has a Flash mode to help the rider become more visible to oncoming traffic.
The switch is external and can be placed near the grips so it can be controlled easily while riding. Each of the three LEDs comes with its own switch that operates independently. Each press toggles each LED through its light modes starting with the medium setting. To turn on full power requires five button presses on the three switches. Turning off requires four.
The battery is long and it mounts on the top tube. This light is for handlebar use only.
As the photos will show, the package is quite attractive and the materials and construction are very good.
Light Meter Readings:
On our light meter readings, it scored a 16. This equals the readings from the Ayup helmet light and the Dinotte 200L.
