Sports reviews of Planet Bike Beamer 3 LED Bicycle Light with Quick Cam Bracket Mount

Customer Review: a SMALL, DIM spot :(
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

Pro: bright, for an LED blinker,with the sole goal of visibility of YOU to OTHERS

Con: too dim to serve as headlight under ANY conditions
much larger than appears in any picture
mounting cheap & very poorly designed
too bright, for an LED blinker,with the sole goal of visibility of YOU to OTHERS:
blinding in blink mode, like a blasting strobe on the road

I am truly surprised at the great reviews for this light, and strongly suspect they were written by PlanetBike affiliates: THIS IS JUST ANOTHER SMALL, DIM SPOT ON THE ROAD, which makes it totally useless (not to mention WASTEFUL) in city streets with lighting, AND useless in pitch-dark as well! A small LED blinky is better, if the only use is "visibility" of yourself to cars & other bicyclists. This light does not serve the purpose a headlight should. Therefore, it's a bulky, over-priced LED blinky: a waste. ALSO, it is MUCH BIGGER than the pictures try to make it seem: it takes 2 AA batteries and is huge on the handlebars. Finally, even as a safety blinker, this light doesn't work, because it is so bright that blink-mode is like a blasting strobe on the road in front of you: you pretty much HAVE TO leave it on full, which is really wasteful... and the mounting also sucks really bad & is super cheap. I really regret this purchase, and wish I'd spent a little more on something much brighter!!! I will try to return this light.

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.
