Quokka headlamp: See, and be seen, while cycling

It might be less than a week before the days start getting longer again, cycle commuters still have months of low-light rides left to navigate. While bike-mounted lights remain essential kit, wearable headlamps are a useful backup when running the gauntlet of inattentive motorists on dark roads.

Compact, lightweight, and versatile, headlamps like the Knog Quokka 150 we’re reviewing (and giving away) this week, offer a multi-functional way to improve visibility – especially at junctions and during roadside stops.

At just 48 grams, the Knog Quokka 150 directs light wherever you look. This can be invaluable at junctions where drivers may fail to spot you. A quick turn of the head beams light into the driver’s line of sight - an effective way to command attention and reduce the risk of being overlooked.

The Quokka 150 offers multiple light modes to suit different conditions: a spot beam to illuminate up to 20 metres ahead for unlit paths or country lanes, a wide beam for ambient light, a red-light mode to preserve night vision or provide a low-glare option for group rides, and a flashing function for urban riding. This versatility makes it just as useful on camping trips, winter runs, or DIY tasks in dim corners.

Roadside repairs made easier

Anyone who has changed an inner tube on a dark roadside knows the importance of good lighting can be. Even in driving rain, the Knog’s  IP65 water resistance rating ensures it will keep working.

Recharging the light is as effortless as using it. The Quokka 150 features an integrated USB-A connector; simply pop the light pod out of its silicone housing, plug it into a port, and you’ll have a full charge in just 3.5 hours.
