Planet Bike Blaze 1/2-Watt LED Bicycle Light with Helmet and QuickCam Mounts

I commute daily to work. This light is not very bright. The beam is narrow. It slides on my narrow mountain bike handlebars. I spent about $125USD on a brighter and wider light. I recommend getting Planet Bike rear lights, but not this front light.

A friend of mine bought a $150 light similar to this one for his helmet and recommended it for night riding.

When I went to the Planet Bike web site, the light wasn't available. But this one was, and it looked pretty similar.

It's a great spotlight - really nice for aiming from atop my helmet to see details on the road ahead. In fact, on a dreary Seattle morning, I can see the light in front of me.

I'm quite happy with the power this light has. I haven't used up the first set of batteries yet, so I can't comment on battery life.

I was really impressed by the scope and brightness of this light, on the first night...and have come to love it even more, over a few weeks. It not only produces a strong and broad beam, but the battery life is quite long. I am a bike-commuter, and rely on my lights everyday. this one has not failed me yet, and it even got left on the bike in a couple of rainstorms. I just replaced the original batteries after 6 or 7 weeks of daily use.

I gave it four stars not for this light, but for the engineers at Planet Bike..the 1 watt LED...is about the same price but with twice the illumination potential...only trouble is...the 1 watt does NOT have "blinking" capacity. As a cyclist, you want all your lights to have a steady mode and a blink mode..which is why I bought this. You can see the pics yourselves. It's a very good light. Highly recommended.

I'm the type of guy who rides a bike every night and for the first time I feel like I found the perfect light ever. It's very small and lite weight. It has one LED light which is bright but not too bright. If you were going to go really fast in the dark, you wouldn't be able to see everything with this light but it is good enough for people to see you at a very far distances. The part that I love about this led light is that it only needs 2 AA batteries. So far I been riding for weeks and haven't had to change them yet, unlike my old light which needed 4 AA batteries and only last up one week. If you're looking for a light that doesn't take too a lot of power but still gives a strong light beam I would have to say that this is the one to get
