Planet Bike Beamer 3 LED Bicycle Light with Quick Cam Bracket Mount

Customer Reviews

great all around light

2008-09-05
This light is much better than what I expected. Ditto everyone's comments on the quality of the beam. I don't normally use the flash mode. However, I recently got caught in a torrential downpour at night. I was already wet, so why not keep riding? I put the light in flashing mode and it was great. The light is water tight even after twenty minutes in the hard rain. I wouldn't go so far as saying the mounting bracket is horrible, it just isn't the best design. Yes, it is adjustable, but only to varying degrees. You can tweak with the adjustments to it, but it clearly just doesn't fit some bars. I tried for quite awhile to get it to fit my cruiser handlebars. I finally resorted to wrapping the handlebar with tape and then mounting it. I still kept it slighty loose so I can quickly adjust the light upward a bit for better visibility in flashing mode. Quite simply, this is a great light.

Small but powerful.

This light is all you'll really need if you want to be seen. In the flash mode, it gets drivers attention well before they are anywhere near you. No need to spend more money. This light will do the job.

Great Light-Great Price

I just received this great little light from Amazon today and had it on my bike within 20 minutes. That included taking off my old light. I couldn't hardly wait until it got dark outside tonight to try this out. I just got back from an hours ride and this light is all that the other reviewer say it is, but even better in my opinion. I thinks it's plenty bright to see anything in front of me, bright enough to see things on sidewalks and certainly more than bright enough for anyone to see you coming from afar. The darker it is, the better you can see with this thing. When coming down the street on the flash mode, every reflective tail light on cars and stop signs for a block and a half were flashing along with the light. And, I stopped at my daughter's house and used it as a flash light to help my grandson find a toy he left outside in the backyard. It is easily removed from the mount and reinstalls just as easily. It's small size is deceiving...you can put it in your pocket and forget it's there. This thing is so bright you can't look directly at the beam. I highly recommend this light.

A Nice Bike Light!

Light works great, very bright! Adjusts to fit a wide variety of handle bars, and very light weight. Great product!

Worth the price!

I bought this after looking at many other products. One advantage with LED powered lights in this product is that, battery life is significantly longer than a same rating filament bulb. You can buy a filament bulb bicycle light little cheaper than this but this product saves battery life. So the price and the power saving was my main reasons to buy this product.

Glad I bought this Light

3 White LED Headlight

This is the headlight for your bike

2008-07-29
Over the years, I tried several different headlights for my bike. Some were too heavy, some wouldn't mount easily, some weren't bright enough, some ate up batteries, I experienced a good deal of frustration and spent a good deal of money. Then I got this one. Now I've bought it several times, as gifts, to replace mine that were stolen (twice, as I recall). I don't want to shop anymore, this is the light for me. Lightweight, reasonably priced, nice mounting system, easily detaches (did I mention that it was stolen off of my bike?). I use NiMH batteries and I think I probably charge twice a year. Maybe less. Granted I don't ride my bike every night, but neither do you, right? There's also a one-LED version that uses even less batteries. Anyway, I highly recommend it.

best bang for the buck----bright!

excellent light and a great value. The mount at first seemed difficult to place, but if you are patient and read the instructions, you will learn how to install it with out any problems.
the brightness factor is important. In the $20 price range, you can't beat it! it is enough to light up street signs and reflective parts of the road. the path is a bit more dim, but brighter closer to the bike. but most importantly, it will for sure alert car drivers, as it can be seen clearly for a good 200 yards. the light has a blue-ish tone to it.
Also, this light is light weight, especially for its size. It is much better than the sigma trilet, which I returned.
