Thompson Sat, 06 Feb 2010 13:28:44 +0000 http://somedaysneverend.com/planet-bike-blinky-safety-1-led-bicycle-light-set#comment-60 i was looking for a small front flashing light when not using my regular bicycle headlight. the set contains two compact led lights. <br /> <br />the light housing has a clip on the back and the set comes with mounting clamps. <br /> <br />the clip on the back of the light fixture cinches onto a installed handlebar bag. this is good. <br /> <br />but the light isnt as bright as bright as i had hoped and i feel can be mistaken for reflected sunlight off of urban surfaces. <br /> <br />no problems with battery life thus far. <br /> <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 i was looking for a small front flashing light when not using my regular bicycle headlight. the set contains two compact led lights.

the light housing has a clip on the back and the set comes with mounting clamps.

the clip on the back of the light fixture cinches onto a installed handlebar bag. this is good.

but the light isnt as bright as bright as i had hoped and i feel can be mistaken for reflected sunlight off of urban surfaces.

no problems with battery life thus far.

I travel along two lane roads that have lots of shadows due to trees. My concern has been that with the right angle of sunlight, a driver will over look me. <br /> <br />For my purpose, these LEDs are just not bright enough nor do they have enough spread for day time riding. Even riding at dusk or on cloudy days through shadows, the LEDS just dont put out enough light where I felt as though drivers could see me. I returned these and purchased the more expensive three LED Planet Bike for the rear, and the Blackburn Quadrant for the front. Its 4x the price, but probably whats needed.

The screws are too short for the purpose. Light is fine. Rating: 2 / 5 The rubber that goes in between the bracket and the bike bar is difficult to handle, makes installation longer than expected.

These are cheap (that's why they're cheap). While they do flash nicely, the batteries cost about the same as the stupid lights I suspect, I haven't bought new ones because I haven't seen them anywhere I've glanced at. They're obscure watch battery like things, not the AAA's I was hoping for.
