5.0 out of 5 stars small and light, many mounting options, wide angle of visibility, May 8, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
LEDs generally have very focused beams, so you have to be looking straight at them to see their full brightness. This light cleverly orients seven LEDs in five different directions to cover a pretty wide angle of visibility, horizontally. (Planet Bike claims 220 degrees of visibility.) Three are directed straight back and through lens sections of the transparent red casing for maximum brightness in that direction. The remaining four are directed left, right, and partway between straight back and left/right. Brightness is lower in these side and intermediate directions, but many cheaper blinkers aren't visible at all from the side, so it's a start. (I sometimes put another blinker on my pannier side for better side visibility.)

One important consideration is that, as with most LED blinkers, the vertical angle of visibility is very narrow. I recommend mounting this light rigidly and precisely, e.g., on your seatpost or seatstay and not your helmet back or on a seat wedge bag... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good battery life but..., January 16, 2008
This review is from: Planet Bike Blinky "7" 7-Led Rear Bicycle Light (Sports)
I have been using this light for a few years now. The clerk at my LBS talked me away from another light and to this one. He thought the light was sufficient and the main selling point was the long battery life. The batteries last so long in this I can forget about them. It is not bright enough to use on an overcast day. I can't even tell if mine is off or on unless it is pitch black. I live in an urban area where roads are traffic heavy, bicyclist and motorist tensions tend to run high and visibility is often very poor and days very dark. I am switching to a brighter light, even if it means changing the batteries more often.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best brightness for small size, but mount not secure., April 4, 2008
By

This review is from: Planet Bike Blinky "7" 7-Led Rear Bicycle Light (Sports)
There are several clever things about this light. Most important is the way the LEDs are oriented to deliver the light all around to the sides as well as a concentrated beam to the back. Another nice touch is that you switch it on or off by just pressing the case on the bottom, which means there's no worries over water intrusion from a switch.

But it doesn't stay on very well. I have it mounted on my seatpost above the rear rack. Almost every time I put my yoga matt on the rack, it knocks the blinky7 off its mount. The mount requires just a little bit of upward pressure on the light for it to fall off. When it hits the pavement, the lense falls off and the batteries fall out, and it can be a pain to find everything and put it all back together.

Even just turning it on/off by pressing the button on the bottom will pop it out of the mount if you don't use your other hand to hold it in place. This makes it very dangerous to turn it on/off while riding... Read more
