I purchased this light over three months ago, along with one for my wife, and we have not been disappointed. Most importantly, we can be seen with this light by others. While the light is not overly bright, it is most adequate for providing essential light while riding at night. We live in Newport, RI and the roads are in very poor condition -- with this light we are able to see any potential hazards before riding over them. I have read other reviews that criticize the mounting brackets. I can only say that I had no problems mounting the lights to my Diamondback mountain bike and my wife's Diamondback mountain bike -- it took less than 10 minutes. At less than $17, I would definitely make this purchase again if I needed another light.

This is just what I was looking for. Another great Planet Bike product. The light output and battery life is fantastic. Since I take it off when I get to my destination, I always have a handy flashlight. The only downside is that I can't adjust the quick cam mount to get the grip on my handlebars that I would like. A quick wrap of electrical tape should cure the problem.

Fantastic product--As others have said, it's better for being seen than for seeing. That said, it is still very bright, and if it's completely dark will illuminate your path. Seems to be a high quality unit, with a very impressive mounting bracket. I've used it for a few hours total so far without replacing batteries.

The light is very bright, and it can even lighten the guidpost beside the street. It makes me feel more safe at night.

this is a quality light that covers a decent area and is visible to cars. i use it in only an urban setting, so i can't comment on how it works in a really dark application. one serious flaw is that the mounting strap is really fat and will not close down on just any bike. i have an old fire mountain and this thing will NOT stay tight. any time i hit a bump, drop off a curb, etc, the light spins up off the road and right into my face. it's probably pretty funny looking to everyone sitting in traffic, but it's starting to get old. i even tried tampering with the hardware (it's just a #10 mech. screw), but haven't had any luck. i will update this review if i figure something out, but i doubt there's anything i can do.
