Color Name:Red/White
Currently, I have four bicycle taillights in my possession, including the new Cateye Opticube. The superflash is by far the brightest. Interestingly, it is also the smallest and weighs in at a diminutive 53 grams. When I first opened the box, I was actually disappointed as I expected something 2-3 times as large. Planet Bike truly hit a homerun with the Blinky Superflash.
With the incredible brightness of the main LED, this light is visible from a distance on a sunny day at noon. I haven't seen anything like it. In addition to the sheer intensity, visibility is enhanced by an interesting flash pattern that combines two smaller LEDs to produce a Morse-code-like signal.
As far as I can tell at this juncture, there are no design flaws with the Superflash. For my purposes, however, I would have preferred a larger clip for use on my backpack.
Pros
Extremely bright
Small
Built-in reflector
Sturdy housing
Cons
Could use a slightly larger clip for attaching to a backpack (very minor)
Too directional (i.e. not enough spread)

Color Name:Red/White
I had to toss my otherwise serviceable Blackburn rear light when the brittle plastic mounting clip failed after about two years of use. Determined to purchase a quality replacement, the Planet Bike brand was the obvious choice. Like the well-worn Planet Bike headlight I've been using, this model taillight is made from a durable plastic that resists cracking from normal patterns of wear, such as accompanies attaching and detaching lights from their mounts when parking bikes. Anyone who rides a lot in the city knows that leaving lights attached to parked bikes is a bad idea. Since the Planet Bike people are avid cyclists, their designs reflect this consideration and the result is durable mounting systems. It is also worth mentioning that this light is extremely bright, rivaling car taillights for visibility on dark streets. A very fine piece of gear from a company run by enthusiasts and definitely not the last item I'll buy from this company.

Disappointed
Save your money and get a Portland light or a Metro Flash. This light is not waterproof and the slightest water intrusion makes it's way to the bottom where the switch is. Read more

I leave it mounted on my bike
This light is small and lightweight so I leave it mounted on the seat stay of my bike frame all of the time. The light can be seen from very far away.

Good light, limited mounting options
I've been using this light for about 6 months. It's a great little light and I typically use it in flashing mode when I'm doing training rides on my road bike. Read more
