In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. 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, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-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 ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their 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.

 Excellent light! November 24, 2008
Chris Mays (Jacksonville, Florida)
This light from Planet Bike is one of the greatest bicycle products on the market today. Ask anyone who uses them, they are super bright, durable, and good on batteries. The battery size is also a commonly used AAA, not a watch battery or odd size.
Should you have any problems, I've heard customer service at Planet Bike is excellent. I would give this item an A+
Great light November 23, 2008
Jason Anderson (Chicago, IL)
This light was even brighter than I had expected. It is very visible from far away. It has a clip for wearing, but I found the removable mounting clips to be even easier and more convenient to use. This light is fantastic for being seen!
 Clear case but red LEDs November 23, 2008

This sorta makes no sense. The item description clearly states the LED is red and it/they are, although states 2 and there are 3. The clear case begs to be used as a headlight but the LEDs flash red rather than white. This product could be greatly improved with white LEDs.
Bright, attention grabbing, works! Attachment to bike OK. November 15, 2008

The light itself is great! Approximately 2x1x1", sturdy, relatively water resistant, and doesn't seem to be prone to damage. The 'button' is well designed covered by the plastic case (press lightly on the case, which will then press the hidden button). As for the light, works very well, grabs attention during day and night! Focused to point in a straight cone, but has light to the sides and top/bottom (overall visible from side and back; best for cars coming from behind). Blink pattern is 'blink blink blink BLINK BLINK' (very fast blinks, from the 2 small LED's and then twice from the larger LED). Also has steady ON mode.
Only bad thing is the attachment mechanism. It's plasticky, average construction (doesn't seem like it will break though), not very sleek, and might allow the light to accidentally tilt if not tightened completely. There are three given ways to attach: 1 use the clip (which is non removable, but replaceable if broken), bad thing is that the clip will allow it to point down, causing the bright spot to point away from cars. 2 use the seat post clamp (comes with thick and thin rubber liners to increase grip on the seat post), works good UNLESS you have a seat bag, which may get in the way. 3 Attach to seat stay (the slanting bar connecting the rear wheel to seat). This lowers the position of the light, which *might* block visibility. Other than that, I like this position.
You want to be noticed? This is it! November 13, 2008

Other reviewers have raved about this tail light and I have to agree. It is very bright and easily seen by cars approaching you from behind. Where it shine best (no pun intended) is during the dawn or dusk hours. I find riding bicycle during that time the scariest because you think you can be seen but honestly there has been times where I have been scared out of my wits because cars didn't see you even though there was still some sun light left. Having this very bright blinking tail light will definitely get driver's attention and minimize chance of getting into accident.
