 Best Tail Light Yet September 1, 2010

I take after work training rides several evenings a week, and in metro Atlanta a flashing tail light, even when not close to dark, is a great safety feature. Earlier this year my daughter and another rider got about 1/2 mile out in front of the group on a very shady straight road. I saw his light clearly while hers was barely visible. His was the Planet Bike. I ordered 3 when I got home, one for my wife, one for my daughter, and one for me.
The only knock on this light is the on/off switch is less than optimal. It relies on a micro switch that is under a section of the hard plastic lens, and takes some getting used to. My wife still can't operate hers while on the bike. If they fix this Planet Bike may have the perfect bicycle tail light.
I LOVE my Planet Bike Blinky Superflash Tail Light! August 27, 2010
Jeff Ehlers
I LOVE my Planet Bike Blinky Superflash Tail Light! It is INCREDIBLY bright (blinding if you look right at it from close up) and thus I feel a lot safer riding before it gets fully light in the morning and/or as it starts to get dark at the end of the day. This is my 3rd purchase of these lights (and this time around I bought TWO of them just in case)-- nothing wrong with the lights, they last FOREVER-- I just broke one in a crash earlier this year and then had another one pop off the back of my bike when I hit a bump at 40+ mph on a descent and hadn't made sure that the light was fully secure before heading home that day. :-)
Very Bright and long battery life but not waterproof August 27, 2010

This light must pulse power supply to the LEDs to achieve such great performance. I don't like the emergency vehicle like flashing mode but the super bright solid light mode can't be beat.
All you need August 24, 2010

Very, very bright. Anything stronger is overkill. In fact, it might already be overkill if you ride with others (it can be frustrating to ride behind someone with it). For a commuter, it's a godsend. Absolutely no way anyone will miss you. Bright enough for day use, too. Seeing as how a cheaper option would not save you much more (this is already very inexpensive), I would not recommend spending less for a cheaper light. Spend the few extra bucks - it's more than worth the difference.
Excellent Strobe Effect. August 21, 2010
B. M. (USA)
This has a brilliant attention-getting red strobe effect that almost makes it look like there's a fire truck on scene! If you pair it up with a blue bike light, you can make it look like a cop car so people will slow down and watch out for you.
The large LED on top has a good amount of throw for a tail light. The light can be seen pretty well from the sides too. The seat post mount attaches fairly solidly and holds the light firmly.
I wish it had more strobe modes and wasn't quite so pricey, but it's still a great light.
