Review on ๐Ÿšด Enhanced Visibility with Planet Bike Superflash Bike Tail Light by Brian Graham

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Burnt twice, sorry

I've bought two of these in the last three years for tail flashing. Given the mostly high praise and reviews here, I feel like I got two that eluded quality control. The first died when the lid detached from the back of the block. Note that I was riding on a flat bike path; it wasn't like walking on a bumpy road. As a precaution, I attached the back cover of the second device with a rubber band. It stopped working after about three months of use, so I replaced the original batteries with new quality batteries. It sparkled great. But it didn't flicker after an hour of driving, and nothing - countless button presses, batteries removed and put in, etc. - didn't restore functionality. It went in the trash. I have another brand of rechargeable front turn signal and it works great. This is going to be my favorite brand now. A NOTICE. When both my PB indicators were working they were clearly visible, there were no problems with them.

Pros
