The best option for a helmet mounted taillight.

Very nice addition to any bike light. It's basically the same as the regular Planet Bike Blinky 3, but with a special helmet mount. This mount is unique in that it allows the light to be pivoted while maintaining light output regardless of helmet angle or position on the helmet. The light itself is very bright. I have it installed on my wife's helmet and often walk behind her at night and I can confirm that the alignment system definitely works. It wobbles at times, so it's probably best toโ€ฆ

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 workedโ€ฆ

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 5,000โ€ฆ

Great helmet light best in sport

I bought this light for my bike helmet because I really want to be seen on the road. In fact, I want to be seen long before you come to me. I had a little flashing light on my helmet which was good for a while but sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't so I needed something reliable and ordered it. I put this light on my helmet last night, it's fantastic. If you look down or up, the light will align so that it is always in position to see the flashing light. At first I thought it might beโ€ฆ
