About Blackburn
In 1975, Jim Blackburn set out to design stronger, lighter, more innovative and more reliable cycling products. The first were bags and racks designed for touring. From there, Blackburn grew. Over the next 30 years, Blackburn's spark of innovation would lead to many revolutionary products, like the first high quality aircraft aluminum rack, the first dual stroke minipump, the first oversized mountain minipump and the first dual stage/dual stroke floorpump just to name a few. For 2005, Blackburn's creative spark is burning brighter than ever. And as we head into our 30th year, Blackburn is re-dedicated to designing smart, reliable, no nonsense accessories that are essential to your riding experience.
Sports reviews of Blackburn Mars 3.0 Flasher Rear Bicycle Light
Customer Review: Great visibility - poor attachment
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
This light will make you visible; however, the clip seems prone to failure. I've lost 3 of these due to the clip breaking (twice on the seatpost clamp, once on a rack mount). In the first instance, I was traveling over a rough patch of asphalt. In the other two instances I was on smooth chip seal. The plastic seems too rigid and after enough cycles of road vibration, it eventually just gives out.Customer Review: it's a light...yes
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
this light works great and is very bright. my only problem is the mount is not constructed well enough for me to go over bumps and not having it fall off. i'm on my second one, because i like the brand and the light but i'm going to be more careful when riding over bumps. the plastic clip broke, but i'm sure ifyou are creative enough you can figure a way to attach it better.Customer Review: nice and bright, but fell off my bike... weak clip attachment

Was a great light for the 3 weeks I had it, it fell off at some point in my morning commute this am. I doubt I'll find it on the way home. be wary of attaching it via the clip to anything but the holster...Customer Review: fine but does NOT mount to seatstay

Nice bright light that I could still see in my helmet mirror as it tumbled down the road behind me having fallen off. Absolutely does NOT mount to the seatstay which was the only reason I wanted it.Customer Review: OK but could be better
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Nice bright light but the plastic bracket broke so I had to permanently attach the light to the bike. Also it would be nice if it used larger batteries so they wouldn't run down so fast.
