bike rear tail light

2008-10-06
Works great and have lasted over a year on one battery. Battery is a watch style and mounting is simple. Rear red light is bright and noticed in the dark of night. Liked them so much, have ordered for the kids bikes. Great price and they are water resistant.

Good Safety Lights

These are a little bit smaller than what I had expected but does it's job for one of our adult bikes. It came with 3 bracket mounts, I believe they're all different sizes. I used the two bigger ones. One was too big, but it also comes with 3 rubber rings to put inside the brackets, so when I used one of those it fits fine. All you need is a philips screwdriver to get them on.

Bright white

These lights work well, seem to be sturdy in construction and one battery seems to last quite a while. I'm very pleased with them but I couldn't give them 5 stars due to the design of the white light.
I had been using them for about a week and had to take an extra early ride in to work. It was my first when it was dark out. When I turned on the white light on the handlebars it shone in a wide arc, over 180 degrees up and down and left and right. I couldn't see because the light was shinning in my face as well as everywhere else.
A piece of black tape on the top part of the light and I was soon on my way. An easy fix to this if it happens to you.
Still riding with it and it is still working well. It's getting a bit darker every morning this time of year.
As other have noted this light shouldn't be counted on to light your way in the dark (I usually ride on lighted streets) but it will make you much more visible to others on the road.

Good Little Blinkers

2008-07-22
Very bright and eye catching. They use quality super Leds so this things are visible from a good distance, especially the headlight. The small size is great to carry them around in any saddle pouch or riding bag.

Excellent product

The lights work very efficiently and they are nice and compact. Assembly was easy and they are pleasant to look at also.

Best little lights ten bucks can buy

Ultra compact cases are weatherproof, light weight, and durable. Handlebar bracket, seatpost and seatstay mounts included. Up to 100 hours of run time on (1) CR2032 watch battery (included)

Not Good For Daytime Safety

2008-07-11
I purchased these for my commute to work during daylight hours. I travel along two lane roads that have lots of shadows due to trees. My concern has been that with the right angle of sunlight, a driver will over look me.

For my purpose, these LEDs are just not bright enough nor do they have enough spread for day time riding. Even riding at dusk or on cloudy days through shadows, the LEDS just dont put out enough light where I felt as though drivers could see me. I returned these and purchased the more expensive three LED Planet Bike for the rear, and the Blackburn Quadrant for the front. Its 4x the price, but probably whats needed.

Does exactly what it is mean to

They are cheap and work great. That is pretty much all there is to these. However, make sure that you are buying these in order to make yourself more visible to drives, and not to make late night rides more visible to you. They do offer some light on your pathway, but not enough to make it worth it if that is your goal. If, like me, you are simply looking for an inexpensive way to keep from getting hit by drivers at night, then this is one of your best choices.

Nice cheap auxilary lights

I wouldn't use these as my only light, but theyre great to clip onto clothes, bags, belts, or whatever to increase visibility. They are both bright and project pretty far.

Great value

I bought these lights for my little kid's bike. I bought them primarily because my bigger kid has a headlight on his bike and the four year old would want one too. It took a bit of time to figure out where to mount the lights because the bike was so small. The lights are bright enough at night that the bike is visible from quite a distance even though he is not allowed to go anywhere without an adult walking along.

Like all of the Planet Bike products I have bought recently, this is great value.
