Customer Review

Great Taillight!
I had three Tail Lights on my Bike (NiteRider CherryBomb, Planet Bike Superflash and the Blackburn Mars 3.0). I needed to upgrade so I got the Portland Design Works Danger Zone Tail Light to replace the Planet Bike Superflash as the main center seatpost Taillight.On night rides and night bike commutes, the Danger Zone tail light is a nice choice for being seen. This is a bright light in a small package, and is helpful for making sure you get distinguished as a Bike from behind at night. It is the same size as the NiteRider CherryBomb, Planet Bike Superflash, and the Blackburn Mars 3.0 Taillights. Includes 2 cheap Chinese AAA batteries, and a seatpost and seatstay mount.It is noticeably brighter than my Planet Bike Superflash and a bit more brighter than the NiteRider CherryBomb, which only has one 1/2 watt LED light. The CherryBomb is quite a bit brighter than the Planet Bike Superflash. The CherryBomb's beam pattern is wide, thanks to the collimator, so...

Better than the Planet Bike Superflash (on the right in the video)
Customer Video Review Length:: 0:09 MinsOn the left is this product, and on the right is the Planet Bike Superflash.The Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash Tail Light has been the gold standard for many years. It had a single half watt LED and two additional less bright LEDs that flash using a flash-pop arrangement that keeps at least one lamp lit almost all the time so that drivers of cars can always see it. Off axis visibility was good, so that it didn't have to be aimed directly at the driver. It was waterproof and you could drop it repeatedly without breakage. I own several of them and have been very happy with them.But they suffer from a few shortcomings. First, they have a short repeat sequence. Drunk and high-on-drugs drivers can get mesmerized by such a sequence and will run right into a light like this like a moth to a flame. So I've been using the superflash on the sides, not the back. Second, they are very bright up close, but from a distance, with lots of...

Best tail light I've seen
This light kicks ass, super bright and a great random flashing pattern. Drivers may confuse you with a cop that has pulled someone over. Expect wide berths from passing cars.

Customer Review

Be seen from the FRONT, not just from the rear.
I got the White 3-LED version of this light for the front of my bike, and love it (there's a 5-LED version, too). In researching bike lights, I came across the seeing / being seen distinction, something a lot of riders seem unaware of. Flashlight / headlight units aren't very attention-grabbing, and when driving the car, I have noticed how easy they are not to notice. Since I ride in a well-lighted city, I don't need a headlight, but I do need to be seen and noticed. And if I did need a headlight, I'd have two lights, one to see, and another to be seen, since the two functions are quite distinct.~ Another thing I noticed from driving: a light that has separate elements blinking non-simultaneously is a lot more noticeable than a single blinking light or a multi-light blinking as a unit, which could be mistaken for a steady light coming into and going out of view (many of the lights in a busy street come into and go out of view as cars maneuver around one another). Lights blinking...

really simple to attach !
Basic functionallity needed so dont be expecting any amazing light show.. but for what is actually needed from a Safety Light, it does the work really good !. The best part is how simple is to attach and detouch from my son's bike. It also come with an extra "attaching piece" that allows me to use it with my bike tool bag. Really good for the price. I recomend it for sure !

Great Light for a Bargain Price - amazing used as a pair
This tail light is bright, so bright that flashing mode is rather annoying, though the "kitt" mode is tolerable while still highly effective at making the cyclist a visible presence on the road - during daylight in the city, it's quite good. The intelligent design superbly exploits the parameters of the light from both rear and sides, creating a lit and reflective surface area that seems much larger than the light itself. Two of these together on constant mode look just like one of the tail lights on my Toyota wagon rolling down the street - it's that good, so good and so affordable that I ordered an extra. Easy to install, and the light clips onto the mount securely yet is quickly and easily removed to prevent theft.The LED lights aimed out to each side are pure genius. You can actually see the tail light from about 45 degrees from the front of the bike, much like the wrap-around lights on cars. The package says not to aim the light at people's eyes for a reason -...

Smart design and Affordable. Doesn't get any better than that.
I am personally not a fan of any single LED bicycle light. LEDs by design have a very narrow effective beam, which is good for flashlights and specialized area lighting, but not necessarily for being seen from vehicles coming at you from varying angles. This product has five LEDs facing different angles which provides 180 degrees of visibility, much more than a single LED which is most effective directly behind you. If you are a commuter, you know that cars don't only come up directly behind you. I like the knight-rider effect, while interesting to look at, it also conserves battery life as well. Inside there is a silver reflector to help push the light towards the rear. There is also a rubber seal that helps keep water from entering the compartment, protecting the batteries and electronics. You can also adjust the angle of the two side flanking LEDs for optimum performance. There are two mounting brackets included for different tube styles as well as a couple rubber shims to help...

Love the "Kitt" mode!
Perfect light. "Kitt" mode is a genius idea that makes this light good enough to attract attention from other people, but not annoying, although if you like to annoy other people then it does have the strobe/flash mode that most other bicycle lights have. Flash mode is not only annoying, but it's hard to judge the distance of an object that's flashing brightly in your eyes. With Kitt mode your attention is immediately drawn to the light AND it's bearable to watch. This light is also compact & water resistant. Battery change is simple. You just need a coin to pry open. The clip is sturdy so you don't have to worry about the light falling off while you're on the road.

Super bright and priced right
Customer Video Review Length:: 1:30 MinsI'd heard about the Radbot 1000 tail light and decided to order one and use it for my upcoming century ride.It is a 1-watt LED with a large reflector below the light which gives additional visibility when approaching-from-behind car's headlights hit it. This one-two combo, a super bright flashing 1-watt LED and reflector gives it a significant edge compared to other bike lights. I also want to mention that the reflector acts as some sort of insurance that in the event your batteries die on you mid-ride in low or no daylight situations, you will still have some visibility as soon as approaching headlights hit the reflector. That is significant fail-safe mechanism in my opinion, at least in dusk to night situations.Powered by 2-AAA batteries, you can expect about 30 hours of operation according to Portland Design Works but if you use non-rechargable alkaline batteries you will likely see the light lasting up to 50 hours or more in zZz...

Let there be light!
This is the best self-contained 2xAAA-powered taillight I have found. It "pales" in comparison to my "gold-standard" DiNotte lights (4xAA powered) yet it offers significant presence and observability for day-time precaution and impressive brilliance for forewarning motorists, by night. Amongst the light sequence choices is an intriguing, attention-getting, modulated-intensity-Zap-Zap choice.The Radbot 1000 chews up batteries about twice as fast as the Viewpoint Flashpoint Ultra (another self-contained 2xAAA light) but here's the scoop for daytime safety and cycling enjoyment:USE BOTH! (There's room on your seatpost to mount both).Why two? (Radbot & Viewpoint).Because the different sequences (and pair of slightly-offset lights) really alert approaching motorists to your presence. By intent, the different lights are NOT synchronized, hence the motorist's daze is interrupted and attention gained,long before a dangerous encounter might...

Bright but still with issues.
I've owned a number of bike lights since I started commuting exclusively by bike about 5 years ago. I normally ride with only one tail light. I bought this light 4 months ago and loved it. This is the brightest light that I've owned, definitely brighter than the superflash. The addition of the reflector is also a nice touch. One thing that I noticed though was that as the light is a 1W light it drains batteries noticeably faster than the .5 W lights that I've owned. That said I would still rate the light with 5 stars.Why then 3 stars? As a previous reviewer noted, this light has issues with going off mid ride. On three occasions I turned on the light and 2 miles later when I got home the light was out. As I don't always ride in bike lanes and I tend to ride on busy roads and some that aren't really really well lit that scared the crap out of me (luckily there is the reflector). Then two days ago I turned on the light and it blinked for 2 seconds and went off. I turned it...

Topeak Redlight II Tail Light review
I bought this to use when riding on the roads. It just help the drivers coming up from behind notice me a little easier.A single button on the bottom of the unit gets pressed once for a solid light, and a second press gives you the flashing light. Since I use it during the day, I am using the flashing light.A friend drove past me and told me later that it really made him notice that there was a rider on the edge of the roadway. I can now ride more at ease knowing I can be seen. I also purchased a mirror that clips onto the temple of my glasses so I don't get that big surprise as a driver whooshes past me. Some cars can be very quiet, and with the electric movement, they will be getting quieter!I have a little loop on the back of my Topeak bag that was made for this. My friend's Trek bag has the same loop, and he said he was going to buy one after riding with me when I first got this. If you don't have a bag, it has a mounting system to mount to the seat...

Strange but it works
This product does the job. It seems durable enough after I dropped it a few times. It does not fall off my Topeak attachments so I am glad I finally have a light that I cannot lose. It will attach to a Topeak bike rack for baskets. It will also attach to Topeak backpacks or anything that has a vertical clip on it. It is very versatile and is well designed. I wish it had more elaborate flash patterns rather than just a on and off but it works. It takes lithium batteries so it can be more expensive to operate than one that works with AAA but lithium batteries are cheap in bulk so it is not that expensive to run.

Cheap, effective visibility from the rear when you bike.
The purpose of any LED tail light is to make sure cars coming up behind you know you're there. The Planet Bike Blinky 3 does a fine job at that, stays put, has great battery life and doesn't cost much. You get two mounting options - a big cheap plastic clip for the seat post and a smaller clip for a rear side strut. I put mine on the seat post. In past years when I had a baby seat I would have used the side strut. You also get two settings - steady and blinking. That's the only negative in my book. I can't imagine using anything but blinking.This is pretty much a no brainer. My wife's has been through almost 8 years of abuse and has had only one battery change. I didn't think twice when it was time for my bike and my son's to get this safety enhancement. I now bike a lot during the late night. I haven't had a close call with a car coming up from my rear yet. Enough said.Update - 8 months later (6/5/09): I added a bike rack over my rear wheel and...

safe, really safe
This rear light can be seen for BLOCKS!! A great feature is the clip--it can be either clipped onto its seat post attachment or to a piece of clothing, if you walk at night. Battery life on blink (which is IMO much safer than constantly on) is weeks, if not months. Small enough to easily fit into a pocket, if you need to take it with.

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.

Its ok but check your seat post first
Nice and bright, different flash settings, great visibility, mounting needs a little improvement. If there's one piece of advice I can give is check your seat-post before using this light. The seat-post is the ideal spot for placing this since you want the flashing to be as high as possible. Unfortunately my Raleigh SC40 has a seat shock post which is far too wide to use the mounting :( The rear forks also do not accomodate the mounting so there are precious few places this can be done. Unfurtunately, this means my flashing light is relegated to operate from a plastic bag dangling from my seat :(
