Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Planet Bike Blinky 1-Led Bicycle Safety Light Set by Brion Pine

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Interesting idea but would be more effective in brighter light

I like the idea of a self leveling headlight mount but the execution isn't perfect. I like the signature Superflash, but the Blinky isn't nearly as bright and doesn't draw much attention on a clear day. Unfortunately I had to remove my Superflash from the seatpost as it was invisible after installing the water bottle mounts behind the saddle. very secure on the back of my Giro Atmos helmet and it kept rattling against the helmet whenever the mounting strap slipped a bit. It could have worked over the helmet but I didn't want to put it there. I suspect this would work on the back of a Giro Synthe (but may interfere with airflow) or a Giro Atmos (but I don't need a tail light on the track). I still use Blinky with its mount. The mount works well and hangs a light under my bottle cages behind the saddle. I suppose one more light wouldn't hurt, but I wish it was brighter.
