Sports reviews of Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light

Customer Review: EXCELLENT visibility!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

OK, I will admit that the clamping system could be about 10# heavier to accommodate every possible situation...

Pros: Inexpensive; Lightweight; VERY bright; Innumerable mounting possibilities

Cons: (I haven't found any yet).

The Bottom Line: If you want a military-grade nearly indestructible safety lighting system for your bike, look for something else. However, for the weight and price, this little light won't let you down (yes, you DO have to be careful not to drop it or throw it upside of a concrete wall or run it over with your truck - don't blame the manufacturer if you cannot or will not adhere to these simple guidelines!). I have the mount attached to an accessory loop on the back of my backpack so that I can just clip this light into place if I need to walk or ride at night. If anyone says they didn't see me, they're either lying or blind!

Description of Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light

Planet Bike BRT-3 Taillights includes batteries, seatpost and seatstay mounts.
The Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light provides 300 percent brighter eXtreme LEDs to ensure that you will be seen by cars coming up from behind for as far as one mile away. Users rave about the exceptional brightness of this powerful little light as well as its long battery life. The light features steady or blinking modes, and will run on two AAA batteries for up to 200 hours.

Super convenient and easy to use, the light has two mounting options--a clip for the seat post or a clip for a rear-side strut. The clip can also be attached to a bag or clothing so you can use it for night walking as well as riding. Easy to detach from the seat post mount, the light is small enough to fit into a pocket or small bag if you need to take it with you. Altogether, the Blinky is an economical choice that offers long-lasting visibility for night riding and lots of convenience.

About Planet Bike
In November 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, WI. 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, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-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 10 years ago started as a one-man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its 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.
