Knuckle Lights Review and Giveaway


Image result for knuckle Lights

I am NOT a morning runner.  So I have to run after work.  That was fine until we turned our clocks ahead.  It is now dark out and most of my running routes have NO lights.

I know that I could buy and use a head lamp but to me, it looks dorky.

You know how I feel about dread I mean treadmills.

So I ordered Knuckle Lights so see if they would work for me.

I had three hesitations about them before I used them:

  • I hate carrying anything in my hands.  I don’t carry a water bottle even on hot summer days. Would these annoy me?
  • If I don’t swing my arms correctly, would they still light my path?
  • Would they be bright enough to run where there are no lights?

First some details about Knuckle Lights:

  • Each one is just shy of 4″ tall and the light part is 1″ wide.
  • Each one weighs less than 3g.
  • There is an adjustable strap on the back of each one to fit your hand (with or without gloves).
  • Each of the lights has a wide angle so it fills the space well.
  • They each use one AA battery.
  • There is a high beam (140 lumens each), low beam and blinking mode. You just press the button on top to change modes.
  • They are waterproof.

So did I like them?

YES!

I ran with them twice already.  I used them on the high beam setting and they gave me plenty of light so I could run in the dark.  They are very light-weight and didn’t bother me at all to carry them. In fact, I think they made me swing my arms correctly so that they would light the path ahead of me. (If you swing your arms across your body like you are not supposed to, they wouldn’t help you.)

The second time I used them, a man who was walking his dog exclaimed “Boy, you are illuminated!”  And I thought, “That is the point!”

I’m not sure how long the batteries will last but you can also buy Knuckle Lights that are rechargeable.

  1. I’ve seen lots of people post about these and wondered how they work. Looks like a pretty good product! I have a headlamp, but it can be uncomfortable to wear sometimes. I’m not big on nighttime/dark running because I live in a pretty rural area, but these might help.

  2. I’ve been waiting for this post! As you know, I’m a vampire runner, except for races. We are usually on the road running between 5:00 and 6:00 am, and it’s DARK. I sometimes carry a small flashlight, which is annoying to hold, and sometimes my running buddy will turn on the flashlight on her phone when we’re in a particularly dark area. Another running buddy (from a different state) wears a headlamp but I can’t do that. I’ve been interested in trying the Knuckle Lights ever since I first heard about them; so good to hear that you like them! I hope I win. 🙂

  10. I also use a headlamp and feel like a dork. I got also for when I do triathlons and I’m setting up my transition area but the knuckle lights would be great for the morning or after work run. I have been seeing a lot about these lately.
