Sports reviews of Planet Bike 3034-1 Blinky Superflash .5 Watt LED with 2 Red LED Tail Lights (Black/Clear Case)

Customer Review: Just the Best
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I'm a year-round, all-weather, night-and-day bike commuter. I don't need the lightest, newest, top-grade drivetrain components or a custom titanium frame, and I'm not about to pay for them. But good lights are one thing I do need, and I don't mind paying top dollar for the added safety. (I have a top-of-the-line Dinotte combo for my bar/helmet lights.)

Happily, though, I don't seem to need to shell out big money for a tail light. I've tried various models, but this little guy is just the best. I could pay a LOT more and get the ridiculously bright Dinotte tail light, but why? This little Planet Bike is already insanely visible, and dirt cheap.

I've had mine (the Stealth) out in all weather, all year, and the thing just. never. fails. I see others have reported switch problems, but none here. Besides, they're so cheap, just buy 2; toss one in your blowout bag and you've got a backup tail light every bit as good as your main, that clips instantly onto the same mounting hardware. Buy the non-Stealth model for your backup. It's even cheaper.

A couple of other nice features:

1. It seems to be extremely easy on batteries. After several months, I finally changed mine out just because I thought surely they must be getting low.

2. The Stealth model really is virtually invisible when it's not blinkifying. Mine's mounted on one of my seat stays, and if you're not looking for it, you just don't see it.

In short, I love this thing. It's one of those extremely rare consumer products that does exactly what it should do, does it extremely well, and costs what it ought to: it's the Craftsman wrench of bicycle lights.

About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.
