Planet Bike Blinky Superflash Tail Light

We sell more of these tail lights than all the others put together. And for good reason. This light is not only very bright, but the flash pattern and white LED with lens make it very easy to see from a considerable distance. If you don't want to spring for the Dinotte Tail Light, this Planet Bike Blinky is the one to get.

The light is fairly light and mounts easily on a seat tube. The AAA batteries last a surprisingly long time. In my experience, it stands up well to weather although we have had a few customers report problems with leakage but this is out of many hundreds of customers.

Strongly recommended.

RAAM (Race Across America) Solo, I used two of these lights on my rear stays for safety, the best rear light regardless of price, meaning I have tried lights that cost hundreds of dollars and this light is MORE effective than anything I have tried. This light has kept me safe in daytime, bright sun, nights when it was foggy in Alaska or tremendous rains in Illinois during RAAM. Manufacturer Customer service is excellent.

I swear by this light and recommend it to EVERYONE and should be on during the day, especially with the increased traffic on the roads.

I don't own . . . yet! But, after a ride last Wednesday, I was riding up on a rider from about a half mile back as was astonished to see how bright this light was. There was no doubt that there was another rider ahead of me. As I passed him, we talked briefly about his light. Definitely the brightest light I have seen.

If you're worried about people seeing you in low visibilty, night, or high traffic. This is the light for you. This thing is almost impossible not to see! I prefer the flash mode simply because of it's size. I don't want people to misjudge the distance, especially since I work, and exercise nights. You can find cheaper, but you're not going to find better!

This light is great until it rains. I do ultra distance road racing and ride and train in all types of conditions. The light is great until it rains. Ride with two tails lights at all times and in last race both failed.

This is the best blinky light out there. They have a pulse of brighter light in between flashes of lesser light that really gets attention. When riding at night getting attention is everything. The only thing I don't like about this light is that if you just clip it to your bag or jacket expect to lose it. The clip doesn't stay put unless you secure it with a rubber band or zip tie. I've lost one this way and found three on the road because some other poor souls lost theirs. It is very secure on the bike mount though. It's water tight and easy to turn on and off. One set of batteries lasts me all winter with my evening commute. You don't need to buy more expensive ones or look any further. Just get it.

Bright, well made. Sometimes it's hard to turn on of off because there is no button, you press on the bottom and flex the plastic housing. Just something you have to get used to. Sometimes I can reach back and turn it on while riding, sometimes I have to stop and get off the bike.

I was going to buy a lesser model of Planet Bike Light and the representative from Biketiresdirect recommended this Super Blinky, and I was glad he did. I was so happy with my purchase. This is the brightest light I have used, and I've used many. 2 modes- Blinky and steady light, you will be seen, guaranteed! You will be very happy if you buy this light. It's definitely worth the price because you can't put a price on safety.

I got the light for low-light riding. I don't always use the same bike. The mounts are ugly and assume your stays are round. I used the built in clip to attach to my jersey, or my commuting backpack. It fell off the backpack.

The other reviews say it all.

I have used various other lights but nothing comes close to the Blinky in this price range.

In fact double the price and you will still not find a better brighter light.

So far this light has been great. Much brighter than my previous light, definitely feel like drivers can see me now. I've used it in rain, snow and freezing weather, so far it keeps on working just fine.

The light is used for late rides where the return trip is at dusk. I use it in flasher mode which extends the battery life quite a bit. Best for road use, as I have had it come off of the mounting clip on bumping trails on my mtb.

This light catches your attention when it comes into view. A bright red blinking light and it seems visible from a very wide angle of view. And in the dark is it difficult to miss, even if not looking directly at it. The price seems more than fair for how well it works. I cannot recall how many hours are on the batteries, so suffice to say they last quite a while. I am sure that I have 70 hours at this point. I have have had no issues at all and I have bought three of these lights. Two for my present bikes and a replacement for one that turned up missing.

I would buy again.

I wanted a light that would wake up drivers when they approach me from the rear. This light does that. It is really bright and can be seen from a long way off which is what you want when you are riding beside any highway or on those country roads. I hope I can find a similar light for the front.

This light fits perfectly on my seat post or clips nicely to my jersey. Easy to clip on or off the bike. Very bright light that is very visible at night or low light hours.

This tail light can be clearly seen from a significant distance by motorists who are paying attention. The are even quite visible during the day. The installation options are excellent. As the lead cyclist for out and back running races, these lights get oncomming runners' attention and aid in enableling me to clear the way for the first place runner as we pass back through the pack.

I think this is the best tail light out there. I've tried others but this one has survived through rain and being jettisoned off my saddle bag on a super bumpy descent. It's really bright yet doesn't burn the retinas of my friends riding behind me. They've improved the chain stay mount so it stays put and the light stayed on it on that same really bumpy descent. It's everything you need in a tail light and at a great price.

Having sampled a couple dozen different lights over the decades, the best there is. Especially good for training alone. I use two on the front and two on the back of the helmet clipped over zip-ties. Local bad roads or cyclocross eventually destroy everything mounted to the bike. I still have the 0.5 watt lights, buy the new 1.0 watt version.

I ride a low handcycle and need to be seen on the raod. This does an excellent job, even during daylight hours.

I use this on dark cloudy days and when the sun is low. I clipped it on my utility rear bag and it holds nice. I only use the flashing setting and feel much safer as I know cars can see me when they are coming up from behind

Good deal on sale not the brightest but not the dimmest by a long shot. Also the battery seems to last a while.

Overall this is a great light! Very bright, has a cool flash pattern, energy efficient. My only gripe is the on-off switch. It requires a lot of searching for the exact right spot to push, and then a lot of pressure to turn on-off. Maybe I'm being picky? The only flaw in an otherwise super product!

I am always impressed when I see a rider up ahead using this light. But, I know for a fact that brighter ones exist because I have 2 lights that are even brighter. Both came from BTD. I gave my Superflash to a friend who is using it daily.

Great in low light conditions
