Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Planet Bike Blinky 1-Led Bicycle Safety Light Set by Reginald Hamilton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bright light, poor mounting design

Ehh the light is bright but the mounting system needs some work. I bought one to use on my long 50-100 mile rides thinking it would be the perfect light when paired with the other on my seatpost. I did about 65 miles on a 100 mile trip and the driver who accompanied me noticed the lights came on and landed on the road. The light emerged from the intersection and broke into several pieces. I couldn't keep the lens/battery cap in place. I had to put it in my pocket. Note that I average 5,000 miles per year in various road conditions. None of my other lamps fell apart like that! Especially when driving with a flashlight for the first time. Long story short, I got home and inspected the flashlight and it turned out that the clips that attach the lens to the flashlight body weren't enough to hold everything together. Took pictures and emailed Planet Bike asking for a replacement. They were quick to apologize and sent me a replacement which arrived a few days later. Unfortunately, I've lost all the confidence I had in this world. I may try again one day, but only as a second light. There is now an unopened replacement on a shelf in my bike room.
