Review on Planet Bike 3040 Superflash Headlight by Epickson Palma

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fur. There are much better offers/products out there.

I bought this when I started cycling and only used it at night at first but started using it for flashing and during the day when I got hit by a car. I love the red taillight and plan to keep using it (handy, you can put it almost anywhere with a very adjustable bracket) but the headlight isn't up to scratch. As you can see in the picture it's front-heavy , so the weight of the light pulls it down as you ride, aiming at the front wheel. My route is six miles long and I have to pull up several times on each ride. The clip is adjustable and comes with rubber bands to insert between the stem and clip in case your stem is really thin, but I've never managed to get it snug despite my best attempts. The way you close the clip is poorly designed so it just pops open while driving and then the light falls loose and loose so it's no longer pointing at the road. However, I like how both lights are easy to attach and detach and once again I am happy with the tail light. But looking at it now, I can't believe I paid such a price for such a combination. Now I'm buying another well-tested headlight for $9. I cannot recommend this package.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Piggy bank Price
