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.
Sports reviews of Planet Bike Beamer 3 LED Bicycle Light with Quick Cam Bracket Mount
Customer Review: Great light for price
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this light over three months ago, along with one for my wife, and we have not been disappointed. Most importantly, we can be seen with this light by others. While the light is not overly bright, it is most adequate for providing essential light while riding at night. We live in Newport, RI and the roads are in very poor condition -- with this light we are able to see any potential hazards before riding over them. I have read other reviews that criticize the mounting brackets. I can only say that I had no problems mounting the lights to my Diamondback mountain bike and my wife's Diamondback mountain bike -- it took less than 10 minutes. At less than $17, I would definitely make this purchase again if I needed another light.Customer Review: Great headlight for a bike. Bright!

I have a Schwinn Volare flat bar bike and installed this at the front on my handlebars. The light is BRIGHT! 3 LEDs means you'll be noticed. The 2 light modes are also great and work as described. The only draw back I would say is that the size of my handle bars makes the gripping mechanism in-between what it should be. It's just tight enough to hold in place, but bike riding on bumping ground can jostle it up and down and requires some adjustment while riding to keep it facing forward. Not terribly worrisome, but nonetheless the only drawback I've experienced thus far. I'm sure if I wrapped the handlebars with some electrical taps and then put this on it wouldn't be an issue -- just haven't done it yet.
Good light.
Customer Review: best bang for the buck----bright!

excellent light and a great value. The mount at first seemed difficult to place, but if you are patient and read the instructions, you will learn how to install it with out any problems.
the brightness factor is important. In the $20 price range, you can't beat it! it is enough to light up street signs and reflective parts of the road. the path is a bit more dim, but brighter closer to the bike. but most importantly, it will for sure alert car drivers, as it can be seen clearly for a good 200 yards. the light has a blue-ish tone to it.
Also, this light is light weight, especially for its size. It is much better than the sigma trilet, which I returned.
Customer Review: Great product!

I have a GT avalanche 3.0. Fits perfectly well on the handle bar and stays tight. It has a very adjustable size system on the mounting system. I do not know the maximum but it fit perfectly for me. The light is very bright a provides a perfect circle in front of you. I don't know about the battery life as i've only owned the product for only a week. There's two different on settings, 1) fast blinking 2) constant on. I'm sure i'll put the light to more use when day light savings is over. This light will definitely light up the road in front of you at night and you will be very noticeable to oncoming cars. Hope this helps!Customer Review: Awesome light. Very bright.

What is there to say about a light? I have no complaints. This light is very bright, it looks cool, was easy to install (took me about 5 minutes and I'm no bike guru), came with batteries, and it claims the batteries last 100 hours. I have not yet used it for 100 hours so I can't attest to that but assuming it's true, I would be very happy. It has two modes, flashing and constant. I have just used the constant mode but I guess some people might prefer flashing. Let's not forget that Planet Bike donates 25% of their profits to bicycle advocacy so they are always a good company to support.
