Planet Bike Blinky Superflash Tail Light
Product Description
The SuperFlash mode on the Planet Bike Blinky Superflash Taillight is so visible, motorists can even spot it in the daylight. Two eXtreme LEDs match up with a ?-watt Blaze LED for up-to-one-mile-away brightness while you ride. The weatherproof vertical design won?t wimp out when the clouds start spitting on your night adventure, and included bike mounts plus a clip mount provide options for commuting and training rides. Choose between the flashing and steady modes.< ... More >>
This light is terrible. Mine didn’t even work when i got it. a total dud. just buy the cheap little planet bike blinky lights. you can get two for about half as much. this one is truly a piece of crap. the video review of it is misleading. i have been more likely to be hit by a car with this light, due to trying to make it turn on while riding.

This sorta makes no sense. The item description clearly states the LED is red and it/they are, although states 2 and there are 3. The clear case begs to be used as a headlight but the LEDs flash red rather than white. This product could be greatly improved with white LEDs.

The light is bright like everyone is saying.
My problem is one day I looked down and it was gone – jumped the mount.
I was riding over a lot of rocks and I guess it popped out. That had me
really steamed. I also had a air pump that shook apart too.
All the mounting systems are very similar, but I cannot afford
to spend whatever it is for a light, nice as it is and have to take
it off all the time or buy a new one when it falls off.
Someone should come up with a flexible mounting standard,

FLAT OUT – THIS IS A GREAT LIGHT TO HAVE. YOU CAN MOUNT IT ON VARIOUS PARTS OF THE BIKE WITH A LITTLE IMAGINATION AND ADDITIONAL MOUNTING BRACKET (NOT JUST THE SEAT POST). YOU CAN MOUNT IT ON THE FRAME OF CERTAIN BIKES LIKE ROAD BIKES/HYBRIDS LEAVING ROOM FOR BAGS, FENDERS, WATER BOTTLES, ETC ON THE SEAT POST. THE ONLY MINOR COMPLAINT FOR ME IS THE MOUNTING BRACKET NOT BEING QUICK RELEASE BUT I CAN LIVE WITH THAT FOR THE QUALITY OF LIGHT YOU GET PLUS THE LIGHT DOES COME OFF WITH A RELEASE SYSTEM LEAVING THE BRACKET IN PLACE.
August 17th, 2010 at 11:39 pmIT IS VERY BRIGHT WITH 2 MODES – BLINKING AND ON. PEOPLE WILL SEE YOU UNLESS THEY ARE BLIND OR THEY ARE OUT TO GET YOU – LOL. IT CAME WITH BATTERIES AND I’M STILL USING THE ONES IT CAME WITH AFTER MONTHS OF USE.
THIS LIGHT COST TWICE AS MUCH IN THE BIKE SHOPS. I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS ITEM 5 STARS IF IT WEREN’T FOR THE MOUNTING BRACKET. MAYBE THE NEW VERSION WILL BE QUICK RELEASE. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY GOOD DEAL
