Australian design award for bike lamp

[Travis]

I saw on television that an Australian designed LED bike lamp has just
been one of the winners of an Australian design award. I Googled for
it and got this: http://www.enews.standards.org.au/cat.asp?cat=1&contentid=131

I didn't catch the name/make of the lamp though. Does anyone know
which one it was... and where we can get one?

You need to work on your google-fu

Knog Gator

I'm impressed. To get that number of lumens from two LEDs requires the Cree XR-E. Knog got a
product to market and got an award within 8 months after the LED was released! I'm guessing that
they changed from a Luxeon III to Cree XR-E quite late in the design process :-) I particularly
like the spot/wide beam option. I thought about doing that, but with my available construction
methods it would have looked ugly.

Didn't require google-fu while watching the tail-end of the news
segment, the design (and the designers name) instantly made me think of
Knog. Do like the tasty asymmetric design, although I'd have to see the
Gator to make a assessment over possibly choosing it over other light
systems (ie: currently looking around for a Vista replacement)

Ta. Anyone know where they can be bought and how much they would
cost?

Some great looking stuff there. Love the look of the handlebar bag
although without seeing prices I still suspect it is all a bit out of
budget for me. :(

I did find one catalogue that lists it at £210! A bit rich for my blood.

Think Knog are trying too hard with the overall marketing concept about
veal farms and Lily Allen. Isn't it about nifty bicycle accessories? Oh
sorry, it's *branding*. Silly me.

If it's more than $200 I'd be getting an Ay-Up instead. If it's less
though, might be worthwhile getting one. The totally contained design
with no mounting clamp left on the bike is great too.

for what it's worth, I'm a big fan of the ay-up lights, they've
replaced my old vistas. The bar mount is the best I've seen - it
doesn't eat much real-estate, while the knog one uses a -lot- of your
bars.

Do you even know how much one of those Australian Design Awards costs. Oh,
you thought they were free?

Never having come across the phrase "google-fu" before it took me a
moment to get it, on my first reading I imagined it said in a Mr T
voice...

Shut up fu!
