This light is great, I wish all lights were like this. What IS a safety hazard are the jack***es with the 10,000 candlepower megalights that blind every oncoming cyclist from 200 yards. I ride on a fairly dark trail and frequently risk a major collision because some jerk needs the 20 feet in front of him to be bright as midday. This flasher is perfect in allowing you to be seen while not creating a safety hazard for other riders. Its also very lightweight. I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars though because I had one stop working after a year, though granted it was after a year of every day use.

Winner of the Stupid Design Award. Rating of minus 5 stars.

How stupid can these people be? Why is it so difficult for them to design a light that doesnt flash in the riders face? Cant they manufacture a mockup, try it out and then say, "Whoa, this thing is a piece of garbage. It shines in the riders eyes. We need to redesign it before we put it out into production." Is that so hard?
This light is a safety hazard. Ive informed the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Other Planet Bike headlights have the same flaw. This one is especially bad.
Dont give your money to these penny-pinching know nothings. They dont deserve it.
What they do deserve is a lawsuit for perpetrating these kinds of defective products on the public.
Too bad its not possible to give a product a minus five stars.
