🚴 Radbot 1000 Tail Light by Portland Design Works Review

Initially I was a bit disappointed with this light as it projects a cone of light directly behind it. However, after riding with more experienced drivers, they found that the light could be seen from behind about 20 degrees off centerline, and it's BRIGHT! Though there's no wide beam and almost no sidelight, it's very good for cars approaching you from behind. some vertical lenses to spread the beam into the larger picture, this little light could match and maybe outperform all the others. We…

I ran to a cheaper store and bought taillights and they fell off (wrong clip design). I ride almost every day in the warmer months when there's no snow, and occasionally in the winter. When it's cold outside, the only way to draw attention to yourself is to wear light-colored clothing and this light. I am EXTREMELY impressed with its powerful light, especially in fast mode. It really gets the attention of oncoming cars (my guess is based on the fact that oncoming cars start to swerve when…

The main reason I chose this taillight was because it came with a trunk bag. 80% of the time I use a trunk bag so seat post mounts are useless to me. .Buying a separate bracket for other taillights is prohibitive as I'm not in the US Paying almost $20 for cheap plastic parts (shipping included) just isn't right I've been using them for a few days because I need them frequently use I drive to work at midnight Where I live it has been raining almost every night for at least 5 months It has…

UPDATE 4/20/2019: More than 2 years with this light and it still works great on my bike. The mount has held up well for me and the light is still very bright and inviting. I definitely justified my money. ORIGINAL REVIEW (March 2017): I've only had it for a few weeks, but so far I'm impressed. I mostly ride at night in a small rural town where I have never seen another cyclist. The handful of riders I encounter don't seem to notice until they're directly overhead. I used to use 2 cheap "rubber"

I heard about the Radbot 1000 rear light and decided to order it and use it for my upcoming journey into the century. This is a 1W LED with a large reflector on the underside for extra visibility when hit by the headlights of a car approaching from behind. This one-two combination of super bright 1W flashing LED and reflector gives it a significant advantage over other bike lights. I'd also like to mention that the reflector acts as a form of insurance so that should your batteries die with…
