Sports reviews of Planet Bike 3040 Superflash Tail Light and Blaze Headlight Light Set

Customer Review: Someone's Bright (VERY) Idea!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

Holy Mother of Pearl! These lights are BRIGHT! C'mon, seriously, what is the most mandatory, obligatory and predictable thing you will do when you get your new lights, eh?

... You know this... you can do it...

RIGHT! You're going to turn them on and look right into the lens from about 18" away! Dingdingding... you get the prize!

You also get faded vision for about an hour and a heckuva headache! These babies are BRIGHT! These are the only/first lights I've owned, so could be others are just as bright; but, if there are brighter lights available, I wouldn't want 'em. I also got the optional mounting bracket for the rear rack, and with that, both were easy to install.

Anyone who runs into me when these lights are on, and then says "Gosh, Officer, I didn't SEE him" should be forbidden to ever leave their house, operate electrical appliances, reproduce, etc.

The only thing I would have designed differently (as others have noted) is to make the front light beam more wide, instead of a spot. Not a biggie in my case, because I'll use the lights more to identify my presence rather than to light the road.

And, yes, I admit it... after getting faded vision and a headache from looking into the lights?... yeah, I did it again. Hey, I'm not the brightest... oh, no, too easy... I won't say it.

About Planet Bike
Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin, in November of 1996. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment first and foremost, with a dedication 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.

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 that seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25 percent of company's 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, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made a number of important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-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 started as a one-man operation more than a decade ago. While still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its 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, Planet Bike has made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.
