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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
Review by Jack
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.

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.

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.
Review by Dennis
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.
Review by Jacer
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!
Review by Doug Levy
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.
Stay safe, Doug Levy completed Solo RAAM in 11 days
Review by Anita
The Planet Bike Blinky Superflash Tail Light is by far the brightest, most visible light on the market. Both the red/white back and the more stealthy clear/black back are equally bright, helping any cyclist stay safe both at night and during the day! Great for rainy and foggy days, too, when visibility is crucial. Mountable to seat-stays and/or seatpost, this light is easy to take on and off. Also clips to backpacks and messenger bags. I keep 3 around - one for my bike, one for my bag, and one for any friend who doesn't happen to have a light with them.
Review by Bruce
I have 3 of these lights. 1 of them I bought 4 years ago. 2AAA batteries per light. I bought 2 more for my other bikes. Better then rechargeable lights. Much brighter then all other lights Ive see.

Good light - nice and bright without breaking the bank.
Review by Johnnybuoy
This light does the job. Nice easy install, adjusts simply, and provides a good strong light. Can't comment on longevity or weather resistance yet.
Review by Atascadero Rich
I ordered 4 of the Planet Bike Superflash Tail lights. I have mounted two on each of my two bikes--one facing to the front and one to the rear. These little lights attached very easily (took just a screwdriver and about 60 secs). I attached one to the front fork and one to the rear stay. If you'd like to attach them to other members of your bike--the lights come with two sets of plastic attachment gear to accommodate nearly all bike frames. The lights are very easy to turn on and off (just a easy push of a button). And when they are on--WOW--they are bright and pulsating. I want to be seen by motorists--and these lights make it so I cannot be missed. I recommend these hot little dudes without reservation. If I had more bike--I'd buy more Planet Bike Blinky Tail Lights.

easy to use. Readily seen. Takes regular batteries. What more do you need?

I use this for my bike ride along the ocean in Florida where people are distracted by the ocean, people on the sidewalk, etc. This light gets the driver's attention and provides for a safer ride.

Simple to install and to use. Very bright during daylight and excellent for dusk or night.
