About Blackburn
In 1975, Jim Blackburn set out to design stronger, lighter, more innovative and more reliable cycling products. The first were bags and racks designed for touring. From there, Blackburn grew. Over the next 30 years, Blackburn's spark of innovation would lead to many revolutionary products, like the first high quality aircraft aluminum rack, the first dual stroke minipump, the first oversized mountain minipump and the first dual stage/dual stroke floorpump just to name a few. For 2005, Blackburn's creative spark is burning brighter than ever. And as we head into our 30th year, Blackburn is re-dedicated to designing smart, reliable, no nonsense accessories that are essential to your riding experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright light, August 17, 2006

It is a big and bright light that turns on easily with a rubberized switch. In addition to solid on, there are two flashing patterns. The battery life is amazingly long when you stick with the flashing modes.

However, when you do have to change the battery, you'll be removing some screws to open the cover. If you ride on salty roads, you'll also discover that the hardware isn't stainless. The screws on mine became pretty rusty over one winter.

4.0 out of 5 stars XCELLENT LIGHT....BUT....., December 5, 2006

XCELLENT LIGHT!!!!
Large lighting surface!-superior lens construction simmiler to a motorcycle or automotive lens!

Large durable mounting bracket with a universal fit.

Rubber gasketing and rubber encased switch provide supreme resistants to the elements.

Steady mode is the brightest tillight ever!!!
Flash mode visibility rivals bike lights costing three times as much!!!

Only small flaw to this supreme lamp is the rear cover (housing) seems to crack around some of the screw holes. Screws are plain steel instead of stainless steel.

Don't let this small defect deprive you from owning one of the best bicycle taillights ever made!

This bicycle lights beats the other two I've had hands down. I love the button on top of the unit that allows me to just reach down and power it on. I sometimes forget to power it on before I leave and now I don't have to pull over. The brightness of the unit is also quite good, I love the three patterns although I do stick to the flashing pattern. Highly recommend this light.
