Brighten Your Ride: Planet Bike Blinky 3 Bicycle Tail Light

Ian: Fonctionne bien mais manque d’option pour l’installation. J’ai du le modifier car je ne peux pas l’installer sur la potence du siège car je ne suis pas assez grand et sur le côté sa frotte sur la roue.

Kelvin Huynh: Had it for two years. Very good for the commute. I don't like the way it turns on/off. It is a soft, small flimsy rubber button. The problem is not the durability, but I can't carry this light in by bag because it always accidentally turns on. Maybe some solid state interruptor? thanks

Eduardo Luna: El alcance de la luz es evidente incluso si la pruebas en el día, así que en la noche será tu mejor aliada para darte a notar entre los autos.
Usa 2 pilas AAA ya incluidas, aunque mi recomendación sería comprar unas recargables aparte como hice yo, para que cada vez que el brillo empiece a bajar, sólo tengas que recargarlas y recuperar total funcionalidad, porque créeme, se te irán agotando rápido si usas la luz a diario.
El producto me llegó sin la luz la primera vez, pero Amazon fue rápido en mandarme otro sin costo adicional, y aparte me dejó quedarme con el producto incompleto que recibí inicialmente, excelente servicio al cliente en ese aspecto.

Stack⠀Overflow: This Planet Bike Blinky is BRIGHT. You're going to be seeing spots for a while if you stare at it directly! It will definitely help you ride safer by alerting drivers to your presence. I'm honestly mystified about complaints that this light isn't bright enough. The Blinky has an always-on or blinking mode. A blue button on the back cycles through the modes: always-on, blinking, and off. The light also easily detaches from the bracket so you can take it with you when you leave your bike on the street and it attaches to the bracket just as easily.

To install:
You simply need a Philips screwdriver to mount the bracket onto your seat post. Make sure to mount the bracket the RIGHT SIDE UP by sliding the light into the bracket FIRST to ascertain which side of the bracket is UP -- the bracket should be oriented with the Planet Bike logo the right way up. To attach the light, slide it in the bracket and it'll snap in place. (To detach the light, push a tab under the light towards the light to release a catch and slide the bike light up.) After your bracket is oriented the right way up on the seat post, make sure you tighten the bracket with a Philips screwdriver.

2Theou: I purchased two of these lights to "be seen" for the backs of my children's bicycles. I wanted something bright that would stand out with their reflective vests. We ride mostly during the late afternoon and early dusk hours, but not after it is fully dark. Please keep this in mind when considering purchasing for your riding habits.

I had noticed during dusk that even with vests it was hard to see the kids as they rode ahead and I wanted additional safety.

These lights are easy to install. I had to take my children's reflectors off and replace them with these lights. Even when not on, the red glass is semi-reflective. The batteries are also easy to install and change. The on/off button and modes are easy to navigate and my children can readily turn them on and off by themselves now.

Other than easy installation, I was immediately impressed by their brightness. Riding at dusk, when the colors tend to blur together for many people, these really stand out. The kids ride about 50 yards ahead and I have even sent them to 100 yards just to test visibility. They are highly visible and easy to see and I feel very good about having them on the bikes. Had them a few...

Perry Patetic: I found out about this brand when I almost literally stumbled across their 2watt LED headlight while walking. It was on the side of the road and had exploded - like an exploded diagram. Literally the thing had come apart in pieces and all of them were sitting in this tidy little line. I grabbed it all up, took it home, hit the one broken connection with solder, and everything just "snapped" back together. I then contacted the company to say I was impressed, and they told me they are so in favor of their stuff being non-disposable that if you're willing to fix it, they pay the shipping for parts. Not sure how much difference that makes in our throwaway world, but I appreciate the gesture.

On to this light in particular, well I figured I (actually my wife) now needed a tail light to go with the headlight, and this was the natural choice. Lightweight, seems sturdy (my wife just clips hers to her seatbag, and it doesn't seem to mind the jostling). It is very bright - bright enough for even the brightest daylight use - and that's because the fairly bright LED's are focused through extremely tight lenses - just a couple degrees of arc in any direction it would seem (in fact, this...
