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 Blinky Safety 1-Led Bicycle Light Set
Customer Review: great lights for the price!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We have had these lights for about a month and are very happy with them. I have a 4 year old son who needs to burn off energy, so being able to ride bikes after dark has been great in easing the pain of "winter lockdown". The lights mount easy and work great. They are very bright and visible for quite a distance. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better light for less money. Keep in mind, this is not a headlight, but really more of a beacon to be seen. Although the headlight will light the road to a small extent, it's really better at functioning to be seen.Customer Review: Perfect "to be seen" lights.

These are great lights at a reasonable price. I went down a very dark road and could only see directly in front of me using the white light on my handlebars so I would not suggest this as a path lighting light. The red light is very bright and the blinking, I was told, is extremely annoying at a good distance so you know you are being seen. I am not sure of the longevity of these but I went over some pretty brutal bumps with not so much as a shift in either light. At $15 I am happy with the results and would suggest this set to a friend or family member.Customer Review: Bicycle light set

They're really nice, and I think every bike should have them. powerful and install really easy, I just wish they made them to install on different size. right now they would install on the handle bar or the seat. My kid seat is all the way down. So all I did is glowed a Velcro strap to it and now I can Velcro the light any where I want, including the back of her helmet... Also, I found this way to be better so it's easy to move it from bike to another, while the other bikes are not in use. (u never can be toooooo much safe)Customer Review: Great value
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought these lights for my little kid's bike. I bought them primarily because my bigger kid has a headlight on his bike and the four year old would want one too. It took a bit of time to figure out where to mount the lights because the bike was so small. The lights are bright enough at night that the bike is visible from quite a distance even though he is not allowed to go anywhere without an adult walking along.
Like all of the Planet Bike products I have bought recently, this is great value.
Customer Review: Bright and affordable.

For the $15 price tag, these lights are a steal. The white light is very bright and I can see its reflection off of stop signs two blocks ahead. After being told by a motorcyclist that my red light was going to give her seizures, I felt assured that my rear was well lit too. They're easily assembled onto the bike and have either a horizontal or vertical pitch to best direct the light. And they come with rubber liners to prevent scratching of your bike. And importantly, these are safety lights, not headlights. A must buy.
