- Be safe, be seen, stay alive
- Whatever else may be said about visibility at night, this light is hard to ignore. At night the flash mode is bright enough to be seen by motorists from a far greater distance than other "blinky" lights. It's definitely an attention grabber. It may be a pricier than most, but it's cheap life insurance and way cheaper than a visit to the hospital.

- Super Flash is Great
- This light is awesome. With the bright LED blinking, it's hard not to be seen. Anything to help from being run over is something needed.

- Blindingly bright
- It's nearly impossible to ride behind a rider with this light flashing. The bright LED is ideal for dusk when some daylight remains, it cuts through to following drivers' eyes. I've installed these on three steeds.

- Hands down one of the brightest taillights out there right now.
- This thing is bright and well built. I have not had any problems with it so far. Because of its brightness, I use it day and night and feel much safer with it.

- Great design in theory, poor quality control
- I have tested countless rear bicycle tail lights. No tail light so far is without problems. Planet Bike makes very good products. To be considered a great tail light a few requirements must be met: Easy, secure mounting, great optics for viewing straight on and from the sides, and a durable, quality switch. Planet Bike has a good, not great mount (the light tends to jiggle in the mount, which may simply be a quality control issue, not a design issue), very good straight on optics, and average optics from the side. Where is fails is in the switch category. I have purchased 4 of these lights, and two of them have defective switches. The light will change modes (from on to off to blinking) when you hit minor defects in the road. 3 stars for the light (very good straight on viewing, average side viewing), 3 stars for the mount, and 0 stars for the switch, arrives at the 2 star rating. They need to either use a Cateye type switch, or a Princeton Tec Swerve type switch.
