Review on ๐Ÿšด Enhanced Visibility with Planet Bike Superflash Bike Tail Light by Danny Thomas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great taillight, if it had stayed together - would have kept falling off while driving.

Update: I've had five of these (for my six bikes) and have lost four of them in the last 3 years or so. One went over a rough RR intersection, the lights went out, skidded across the road and straight into the storm sewer - definitely unlucky. The other three are a big disappointment. I'm coming home from a bike ride, only the white back is attached to my bike, the lights and batteries fell out somewhere on the road. Lowering my rating from 5 stars to 2 for this design flaw. Due to that recent loss I put new batteries in last fall (600-700 miles ago) and haven't touched the light recently so I either drove over a big bump or someone/something turned it off. In any case, I am very disappointed with this design flaw and will look around for a replacement brand. If you continue to use this light consider tying it in the middle with a zip tie, this is how I did it with my last remaining light. I replace them with another light. Original Rating: Super bright when blinking. Good clip to attach to a saddlebag. The switch works well, but I still want to go back and make sure it's on if I try to turn it on while driving. It would be nice if it had more positive haptic feedback, but I haven't found a similar light that works differently.

Pros
  • BATTERY POWERED BICYCLE LIGHT: Powered by two AAA batteries
Cons
  • The list will be long.
