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: bright, efficient headlight
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've had mine for almost two years of heavy use. The light is very bright, providing a great deal of visibility and some illumination of the road in front, which is enough for the city, and batteries last a very long time. Most pleasingly, the mounting system is very durable and it seems likely that it will withstand several years of regular use. The unit appears to be impervious to rain. As with all of the gear I've purchased from Planet Bike, a superior level of design is evident. A good, basic LED headlight.Customer Review: no complaints at all

I have used this bicycle light for a while now and i have no complaints for it. It does what it is supposed to do and generates a nice flashing or steady bright light that will make me visible at night on the road. It makes me feel a lot safer to be able to be see and be seen. It was also very easy to mount it on the bike. The batteries that it comes with claims that they last for about 100 hours, but i can not yet testify for that. I recommend this to anyone who bikes in the dark to protect yourself from accidents.Customer Review: Great Light, Easy to Use, Easy to Install... what else do you need to know?

I bought this for my SPECIALIZED TARMAC road bike. It literally took me less than a minute to get on my bike, and produces enough light to make me feel safe while riding at night. I am not sure why the other reviewer was upset about the blinking setting being default... it's one extra click of the button to make it solid... difficult? I also personally like it, because I use it on the continuous light setting... which means that one more push of the button turns it off... so I don't accidentally leave it on...Customer Review: perfect for city use on multiple bikes

I live in an urban area and ride mostly on lit streets. I need something that will make me seen. This light does that well.
I also have two primary bicycles. The Quick Cam mount really works well if you're planning on switching the mount between bikes. The mount isn't as solid as one that you affix permanently, it will not hold steady if you're on a lot of bouncy terrain, but that rarely is an issue for me.
Overall, I'm very happy with this light and it does its job well.
Customer Review: Bright Light!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am very happy with this bike light. In the flashing mode if anyone where to run into me at night it would be because they are drunk or on drugs or maybe using their cell phone which according to studies leaves the user with about the same amount of brain available as someone drunk does. Anyhow, I am happy and would highly recommend it because it works great, is nice and portable and can be removed very easily. Plus the price is fair unlike some other brands that you pay for their name for.
