The Planet Bike Blinky "3" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light provides 300 percent brighter eXtreme LEDs to ensure that you will be seen by cars coming up from behind for as far as one mile away. Users rave about the exceptional brightness of this powerful little light as well as its long battery life. The light features steady or blinking modes, and will run on two AAA batteries for up to 200 hours.

Super convenient and easy to use, the light has two mounting options--a clip for the seat post or a clip for a rear-side strut. The clip can also be attached to a bag or clothing so you can use it for night walking as well as riding. Easy to detach from the seat post mount, the light is small enough to fit into a pocket or small bag if you need to take it with you. Altogether, the Blinky is an economical choice that offers long-lasting visibility for night riding and lots of convenience.

About Planet Bike
In November 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, WI. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.

Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.

Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high-quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, the company strives to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short 10-year history, it has made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the four-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that 10 years ago started as a one-man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve its product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Customers are satisfied with the brightness of the bicycle light. They mention that it's plenty bright, does its job well, and is bright enough to see a red spot across the room. The light stands up to the rain and stayed bright for about a year before they had to replace it.

Does the job great but could come with clearer instructions - READ FOR MOUNTING INFO
I've been using this light on my daily commute for two weeks and it works great (bright, red, flashes...does what it should). My only issue was mounting and instructions (virtually none). The light comes with three mounting options: Seat post mount, side strut mount, and a clip that is attached to the light. The seat post and strut mounts are easy enough to figure out without instrutions BUT, I quickly realized that I couldn't use either mount on my bike because my trunk bag would block the light (Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DXP Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels). Fortunately, I discovered that my trunk bag has a small nylon strap that perfectly fits the clip attachment on the light so I'm able to securely attach the light to the rear of my trunk bag. Point being: If you have a trunk bag or anything else on the rear of your bike, you need to figure out how and where you will mount this light before you purchase.I'm going to post photos of the mounting stuff on this product so everyone can see what I'm talking about.Overall, highly recommended just check your bike first. I didn't give five stars simply because somewhere in the product description it should be noted that mounting can be an issue if you are a commuter/trunk bag user.
