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.
Sports reviews of Planet Bike 3044 Blaze 1-Watt LED Headlight
Customer Review: Very Good
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Owned it for couple weeks.
Very bright: reflection in STOP sign
can be seen from over 500 ft
(have not tested with more).
VERY easy to remove, which is not always good,
but I still give it 5 stars.
Customer Review: Incredible brightness for the price
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This light performs incredibly. The cast distance and width is far for what your paying for. Everyone who rides at night needs to purchase this light. I can illuminate reflective signs from over a block down.Customer Review: really good buy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am using it for the past month - I mostly use it in flashing mode - the light is bright and traffic coming towards me can see it. I have not used it in the night, but appears to be bright enough.Customer Review: good light for city road night ride
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
fit over a 31.8 mm handle bar, bright enough for riding at night on city road. I would like the beam pattern to be wider though. Not bad for the price, and it looks quite good.Customer Review: Good buy

Hello,
This light is very bright and easy to mount on your bike, and after two years it still works and I am still happy.
