Offering long runtimes and exceptionally bright LED light, the Beamer 1 Light Set from Planet Bike is a great choice for daily riders, commuters, and pleasure riders alike. The Beamer 1 headlight provides four times brighter light than prior models with an eXtreme V2.0 genuine Nichia LED bulb that will not dim with age. The Beamer 1 mounts easily to your handlebar and the beam can be aimed where you need it to light up the road ahead and alert motorists of your presence. Meanwhile, the Blinky 3 provides up to one mile of visibility to the rear with three red genuine Nichia LEDs. The three LEDs and parabolic reflector combine to ensure that you and your bike are visible from both the rear and the sides to help prevent sideswiping. Each light is easy to operate with a single switch on the top that allows you to select between steady, flashing, and off modes. The lights run for 100 to 200 hours respectively on easy to find and inexpensive pairs of AA/AAA batteries (included). The Beamer 1 Light Set is offered at a price point that no one can argue with--and 25 percent of the profits from the sale of each light set are donated by Planet Bike to bicycle advocacy programs. Finally, this high-quality light set is covered by limited lifetime warranty from Planet Bike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, November 15, 2007

Battery life is good and the whole package seems pretty well-built. My only compliant is that the front headlight is not very bright. It serves to let other people know you're there, but definitely does not sufficiently light up the road in front of you. The rear light works just fine.

For the price, however, I don't think this can be beat. If you're looking for a cheap but usable bike light set, this is the way to go.

I thought this light would suffice for my short ride home from work every night but its has a much more limited scope than I was expecting. If I could do it again, I would have splurged for a bigger light. Works great and has sturdy construction but is definitely the minimum you need for night riding.

This review is from: Planet Bike Beamer 1 and Blinky 3 LED Bicycle Light Set (Sports)

Up front, a large disclaimer - I do not own this product, and gave it 3 stars as a 'guessed at' rating.

So why am I writing a review? Well, I thought I'd pass along a very helpful bit of information I received while I debated between this bike light set and a similar, more expensive one from Planet Bike also offered by Amazon. This light set includes the Beamer 1 headlight, while the more expensive one features the 1/2 watt Blaze headlight (also from Planet Bike). In reading the reviews I saw where people had said the Beamer 1 was a bit dim, but that didn't clarify things for me.

What I'd recommend is to go over to the Planet Bike web site and fire up their 'See the Light' feature, [...]. This very helpful web page shows you *exactly* how each of the different products work, and the area they illuminate.
