Works Great. And the Price is Great Too

This is a durable little headlight which is sufficient for my needs. Im a casual bike rider who sometimes runs out of sunlight. This little light is fine for making me visible to others and helping me find my way home.

Best LED Bicycle Light

On: 2008-07-02

I think this is the best bicycle light we can buy it at common sport store. Some people love to argue that HID headlight is much better that this thing; however, u gotta compare the price also. u may need to spend at least $250 for HID but only $20 for this little headlight.
Very simple installation. It doesnt like HID, u dont need to connect to an extensional battery. The light is really brighter than the one (use light bulbs) I bought from cheap cheap "always onsale" store. The light is absolutely bright enough to make people see u. but if u really wanna have brighter effect like the cars headlight with a "light shadow" on ground, u should put 2 headlights together. I did that also

Nice bright light!

A nice bright light! Havent used it yet, but will use it going through tunnels on our bikes. Mounts easily to handlebars.

Great light!

Simple to take on and off the bike, fits easily into a pocket, and provides pretty good light, too. (Its not going to light up the street, but it will definitely make you visible to cars and show you whats directly ahead.) Im very happy with it.

Currently Riding with this light on my xtracycle

I currently have this light on my xtracyle, which is a cargo bike not sold on Amazon. I was going to get a high powered light but decided for mostly urban use that i could probably get by with a good LED light. I used this through a few rain storms and it still works like a charm. Bright-as long as the batteries are fresh. Went on my bike pretty easy. And of course, its a planet bike light and i like that they give back to the community.

On my xtracycle I have this light, two planet bike blinkiesPlanet Bike Blinky 3 - 3 LED Bicycle Tail Light - 3009and a Down Low Glow by Fossil Fool Down Low Glow Lighting Kit - Two Tubes -Ice(blue). I also often ride with Iluminite leg and arm warmers Performance illumiNITE Arm Warmers

Good for lighted area

On: 2007-12-02

The instruction recommends rechargables, but I found that it is considerably dimmer than when using regular alkaline batteries, even when the nimhs were freshly charged. The safety margin is not worth the saving, so I use regular alkaline batteries.

The "flashing" mode bright flashes can be seen over a city block away, but the bright flashes are very disturbing when I am riding in dark areas. The continuous "on" mode does not gives sufficient light to ride safely when there is no other light source like street lights.

This light serves me well in getting drivers attention from on coming traffic, and is worth the price; going to get additional head light for night riding.

Excellent light for city riding

This is a great light for city riding. It is bright and has a long battery life. The mount is secure and has a quick release so you can take the light with you. The body is waterproof and opens without tools, plus it is very compact. What more do you need?

Urban rider reveiws the Beamer 5.

This light takes two AAs so i can use rechargebles,not pricey watch batteries.The five LEDs have a good throw.When pointed a bit closer to the ground infront of the handle bars it gives off a star cluster rather than a single wash.This is a light not for seeing well but for being seen by others.The easy to install bracket does not seem to tighten enough.I wish designers would make strong metal(titanium?)brackets for lights for those of us who ride everyday,everywhere.Not the best,but better than most.
