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: Just rode at night using this light..
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I just rode with the Planet Bike Beamer and found it did an excellent job lighting my way. I had a comparable headlight for my bike before but really was not satisfied. I read the review for the Planet Bike light, bought it and when I rode with it I could easily tell it was brighter and I could clearly see ahead of me. I had to slightly fiddle with the bracket but this should not be a negative deciding factor. Overall a great light and I should have bought this light to begin with.Customer Review: Good visibility light
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
As others have said, this light is good for riding on lit streets. I don't think I would want to use it as a sole source of light. You could probably do that, but you would have to ride pretty slowly. But, it does what it is designed to do. It makes the rider visible to motorists. It attaches easily and releases easily. The mechanism is actually very clever. However, you need to practice the release because if you just jerk on it, it could be broken.Customer Review: much better than I expected
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this light after suffering through several department store purchases. I can't believe how much money I could have saved if I had just bought this light to begin with. It is very well made and gives a good solid light. I noticed too that it was a bit loose on the handle bars even though I did tighten the strap as suggested by another reviewer. Electrical tape solves the problem. I'm even thinking of buying another one so I can have dual headlights.Customer Review: Nice and bright, fine for light use
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bike everywhere at college, and with it getting dark earlier I felt the need for a headlamp. I'm completely satisfied with this Planet Bike light for my purposes. It casts a clear, bright circle of light which wouldn't be enough for true night riding, but is fine in an urban environment where there are streetlights. The mounting bracket has a tendency to swivel up and down a bit, but the quick detach is nice. Works fine as a normal flashlight too!Customer Review: Easy to install and very bright
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a great light for urban riding. You would not need anything brighter unless you were riding in pitch dark. The flashing mode is visible for a great distance. It is also very easy to install. I leave the bracket on my handlebar right beside my heart rate monitor. It takes up very little room and is very unobtrusive. I almost purchased a more expensive light because it had 5 instead of 3 Led's - don't bother - this is a great light.
