Review on ๐Ÿšด Blinky 3 Bicycle Tail Light by Planet Bike by Roel Lebron

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but could get clearer instructions - READ INSTALLATION INFO

I've been using this light for two weeks on my daily commute and it works great (bright, red, flashing. Does what it does target). My only problem was the installation and instructions (almost none). The light comes with three mounting options: a seatpost mount, a sidepost mount, and a clip that attaches to the light. The seatpost and rack mounts are easy to figure out without instructions BUT I quickly realized that I couldn't use either mount on my bike as my rack bag would block the light (Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DXP Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Bag Walls). Luckily I found that my trunk bag has a small nylon strap that is perfect for the clip on the flashlight so I can securely attach the flashlight to the back of the trunk bag. The bottom line is that if you have a trunk bag or whatever on the back of your bike, you need to figure out how and where to mount that light before you buy. I will post photos of the mount on this product. so everyone can see what I'm talking about. In general, it is highly recommended that you check your bike first. I didn't give five stars just because somewhere in the product description it should be noted that installation can be an issue if you're using a commuter bag.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I'll write later
