Very nice

This is a very stylish light meant to be seen rather than to light the road. For roads without any public lighting, youll need something much stronger.

So Far So Good

This light isnt the brightest thing on the planet. But I bought it in part, because its a planet bike light and they contribute to cycling communities. Also I use it primarily as a flasher, which gets the attention of people driving by. Its street legal, so for those of you that can afford anything else, but dont want to get a ticket heres your light.

I use this light as part of my night riding equipment. I also use Planet bike red blinkies and the Down Low Glow by Fossil Fool.Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes -Ice(blue)Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes -Fossilized Amber(pink)Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash 1/2-Watt Blaze LED Plus 2 eXtreme LED Rear Bicycle LightWildflower Mountain Biking for Women

Not sturdy

I had problems with this light not staying in the mount. Finally it came apart while riding at 25mph scattering parts and batteries to unknown locations. I didnt hit a bump or anything, the case just opened up and sent parts in various directions. It wont work well for lighting your route, but as a flashing light pointed at oncoming traffic it gets attention. It is cheap for a reason!

good light

Kinda stupid to write a review after only having it for a month, but so far so good - havent been hit by a car yet.

Let others see you

Dont count on this one as your primary light source. Not enough power. But in flashing mode it draws attention. Makes others see you (thats what I wanted).
Its very small & lightweight. Easy to install. Nice looking MICROlight!

Not so good...

As a dedicated bike commuter, I need and use a lot of lights. This one seemed like a great deal (and its a Planet Bike, which are usually well thought out products), but it turned out not to be so. It doesnt seal at all, it has holes in the casing, and any moisture at all causes it to either A) stay on permanently, B) run down the batteries, C) completely disable the switch. I got about one year out of it before the rains destroyed it.

Good item from a good vendor

The item I received does not look like the one on the picture, but it is a good item anyway so no complaints there. It works nicely and the vendor was very nice.
