Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 7 Rear Bike Light:
The light works great. You can mount it under your seat, on your rear fork, or clip it to a bag. You can remove it from one bike a put it on another in seconds because of the lights clip design. The only complaint I have is it's a little hard to push the on/off button especially so when wearing gloves.

Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 7 Rear Bike Light:
Finally reached a point where I felt I needed a light for the back of the bike. Even with the days getting a little longer as we head towards Spring, it is not always possible to get home before natural lighting is too dim to be safe.
Reviewed many (seems like hundreds) options and paid close attention to the reviews. Was not too concerned about price, but very interested in what others thought of each light.
If I had to pick just one word for this light, "Awesome".
Bright enough to be seen reliably from a few hundred feet and when flashing, it really catches the attention. Another nice design pro is side visibility. There are LEDs aimed to the sides.

Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 7 Rear Bike Light:
Lots of lights on the market focus light straight back- few bother with wide-angle visibility. True, this one doesn't have the sheer straight-back firepower of the Superflash, but puts out bright light to the sides as well. We ARE trying to be seen at night, after all. The bonus is that this and the Superflash fit well on seatstays. Finally, a good option there. Though with a caveat- seatstay angles of 45 degrees or shallower pose a problem- I had to trim the release tab on the mount to get the light aimed properly to the rear.

Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 7 Rear Bike Light:
Due to our planet's axial tilt, I realized that I was going to start needed some assistance for motorists to see my while commuting to work. I picked this light up, and it has worked like a charm - I haven't been run over yet! Seriously though, I was looking for a relatively inexpensive light that I could mount onto my bike to aid my visibility. As an added bonus, today my daughter had to be in school earlier, and I was able to quickly disconnect it and attach it to her Osprey backpack. Once she got to school, I snapped it back on to my mount and continued on my way.

Awesome light for the price. It's great how there are sideways LEDs also, for cars coming from side streets.
All Good.

Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 7 Rear Bike Light:
It easily fulfills its role as a rear safety light. It is easy to see, and it hasn't fallen off yet.
I like to bang around on my mountain bike, and this light (with the included mount) has endured abuse ranging from significant bumps to moderate drops.
I have only owned this light for about a month now, so I cannot comment on the length of battery life, or on long-term reliability. But so far, the Blinky looks good.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery to NJ address was prompt. No issues.
Pros
- Great visibility
- Lightweight

Comments about Planet Bike Blinky 7 Rear Bike Light:
For the cost this light is tops. It comes with a bar mount and a wrist strap for great versatility. I use this light on my backpack in conjunction with a saddlepost light made by Fiji and this light blows away the Fiji in brightness. The only downfall, which is very minor, is that it only has two settings, steady and one form of blinking.
