Average Customer Review: 4.5

Summary: Really bright initially!
Date: 2008-11-15 - 4

Comment: I bought this light together with Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash 1/2-Watt Blaze LED Plus 2 eXtreme LED Rear Bicycle Light. The run time for 1/2-Watt light seems to last Longer, however this light has better visibility initially when the batteries have more juce.

Summary: Cheap, effective visibility from the rear when you bike.
Date: 2008-10-27 - 5

Comment: The purpose of any LED tail light is to make sure cars coming up behind you know you're there. The Planet Bike Blinky 3 does a fine job at that, stays put, has great battery life and doesn't cost much. You get two mounting options - a big cheap plastic clip for the seat post and a smaller clip for a rear side strut. I put mine on the seat post. In past years when I had a baby seat I would have used the side strut. You also get two settings - steady and blinking. That's the only negative in my book. I can't imagine using anything but blinking.

This is pretty much a no brainer. My wife's has been through almost 8 years of abuse and has had only one battery change. I didn't think twice when it was time for my bike and my son's to get this safety enhancement. I now bike a lot during the late night. I haven't had a close call with a car coming up from my rear yet. Enough said.

Summary: Its ok but check your seat post first
Date: 2008-10-21 - 3

Comment: Nice and bright, different flash settings, great visibility, mounting needs a little improvement. If there's one piece of advice I can give is check your seat-post before using this light. The seat-post is the ideal spot for placing this since you want the flashing to be as high as possible. Unfortunately my Raleigh SC40 has a seat shock post which is far too wide to use the mounting :( The rear forks also do not accomodate the mounting so there are precious few places this can be done. Unfurtunately, this means my flashing light is relegated to operate from a plastic bag dangling from my seat :(

Summary: Bright LED's when viewed straight on-No so much from side.
Date: 2008-10-19 - 3

Comment: This light can be seen from quite a distance from the rear with the bright LED's. Wish it had better visibility from the side.

Summary: good light

Comment: I bought this light for my husband. He really likes it!
At the first beginning we had no idea where to put the battery, but finally we figured it out: remove the red cover..
