Be careful unclipping the clip when replaceing batteries

August 19, 2012

Color: One ColorSize: One SizeVerified Purchase

I agree with all the good reviews - it is one of the brightest and lightest lights on the market.
It is also one of the more expensive lights and worked perfectly for me for almost a year.

It finally broke...how? one of the 2 plastic clips that is released to change the batteries snapped off while I was opening it.
The light still works and now needs a tyrap or rubberband to hold it in place.

I guess if they were screws one would have stripped them out if you are not careful. So be very careful when you open yours up.

*update - PDW is shipping me a replacement clip. They have a warranty RMA form on their website.

Better than the Planet Bike Superflash (on the right in the video)

May 18, 2011

Color: One ColorSize: One SizeVerified Purchase

On the left is this product, and on the right is the Planet Bike Superflash.

The Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash Tail Light has been the gold standard for many years. It had a single half watt LED and two additional less bright LEDs that flash using a flash-pop arrangement that keeps at least one lamp lit almost all the time so that drivers of cars can always see it. Off axis visibility was good, so that it didn't have to be aimed directly at the driver. It was waterproof and you could drop it repeatedly without breakage. I own several of them and have been very happy with them.

But they suffer from a few shortcomings. First, they have a short repeat sequence. Drunk and high-on-drugs drivers can get mesmerized by such a sequence and will run right into a light like this like a moth to a flame. So I've been using the superflash on the sides, not the back. Second, they are very bright up close, but from a distance, with lots of other distracting lights, they get lost in the crowd. A half watt isn't very bright when there are many other 12 volt sources of light. So in a big city, they are less effective.

Enter the Portland Design Works Danger Zone. It has two half watt LED that punch through the clutter of other lights in a city, and a longer repeat pattern making a drunk driver less likely to hit you with one of them. You can see from the video that it seems much brighter, though if you stop the video right at the end, both lights have a single half watt LED on at the same time and you can see that, at least at that moment, they are both identical. Otherwise, it seems well built, waterproof and off axis visibility is just as good, just like the superflash. Clip and mounting capabilities are almost identical. It's a little bigger than the superflash.

However, the brightness comes with some drawbacks. First, the battery life will go down. Second it's more expensive.

However, I think for a rear light, it's worth it. For a side light (I use one on each side for drivers exiting driveways and parking lots, and cross traffic), I'd stick with the superflash, due to cost and battery life issues.

Hmmmmmm.....2 versions of this light? Old vs. New?

June 30, 2015

Color: One ColorSize: One SizeVerified Purchase

Well I'm confused. I bought two of these. One was bought from Amazon prime directly. The other one was purchased on Amazon...but from another vendor which took about 1.5 weeks to arrive. Amazons came in 2 days. I thought they were the same items...but upon receiving the products and closer inspection...I noticed some difference...
- The Amazon light has a black button. The "other" light has a grey button. (the picture looks like button is white...but its grey)
- The Amazon light has a logo "mpd" on it. The "other" light has no logo on it.
- The Amazon light came with batteries installed (cheap Chinese batteries...but still it was included). The "other" light didn't come with batteries.
- The Amazon light had a different latch to system to attach to bike vs. the "other" light. (Not sure which was better)
- The Amazon light worked with my new Duracell AAA batteries. The "other" light did not work at all with same Duracell batteries. I thought the lights were broken...but it worked when I put the cheap Chinese batteries...go figure.
- The Amazon light has 3 distinct light patterns.
(1) Random blinking lights: gradual increase/decrease brightness and quick blinking.
(2) constant red light from both light bulbs
(3) constant even tempo blinking.
- The "Other" light also 3 light patterns but different.
(1) Same random blinking lights as mentioned above
(2) 1 bulb of the 2 bulbs turns on constant red light
(3) both bulbs turn on constant red light.

-The Amazon light has red plastic which gives off that red light when the bulb turns on. (the red plastic color tone is a deep dark ruby red color.)
-The "other" light also has red plastic but it almost looks pinkish (not as dark red as the Amazon light)

With this, I don't know if I have been sent a older version of this light...but definitely the new one from Amazon which you can distinctly tell by the BLACK on/off button seems to be the better of the two...or more legitimate...

As far as longevity of the product...we will have to see. I will report back when I get some time with these lights.

It works but rain can hurt it.

December 27, 2012

Color: One ColorSize: One SizeVerified Purchase

The back part doesn't always like to stay on, but it's bright and easy to operate with gloves. A recent wet weather ride made it so I couldn't turn it off without taking out the batteries. That stopped after a week or so and it went back to normal.

I once landed a jump pretty hard and the red plastic light portion fell out and was run over by another cyclist that was behind me. I put it back in and it worked fine.

EDIT- I had another one go out on me because of the rain. This time it sometimes can be turned out without removing batteries, other times I need to take it apart. I'll probably try something that's sealed from the elements better next time. It'll work for you if you don't ride in adverse conditions though.
