🚴 Blinky 3 Bicycle Tail Light by Planet Bike Review

I recommend this particular bike tail light for three reasons. Thanks to its LED technology, you can expect maximum visibility with minimum energy consumption; In other words, batteries last longer. I also recommend this item because it uses standard AAA batteries. Few things are more annoying than discovering that the batteries are more expensive than the device, and that assumes you can find the odd thing! There are no problems with this block. Everyone has AA. I particularly liked this rear…

I don't ride my bike much at night anymore because the summer light lasts into the evening but on the nights I used it it served its purpose well. It has three settings: OFF, ALWAYS ON, FLASHING ON. I use the turn signal setting because I think it's the best mechanism for alerting drivers to your presence. I haven't been hit yet and someone who followed me with him said he saw him at a very long distance. I love that it came pre assembled right out of the box, I just hit the back button…

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 bad news is that it takes a very light press to activate Blinky. Because of this I can't toss it in my bike bag between rides as Blinky can activate if the bike gets bumped on the bumper mount during car transport. This will discharge your Blinky's battery. A cumbersome workaround is to give Blinky…

Tail Light Received today. There is a gap between the tail light clip and the lamp housing so it doesn't securely clip in my seat pocket. This is a defect that causes the lamp to fail and end up on the street. After clicking return item and listing the reasons why I want to return the flashlight, I received a page saying the item was non-refundable. This is a bad user experience as I don't have to explain why I want to return an item that Revain won't let me return. I then clicked on the "View…
