Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
Initially, I used a Cat Eye as my front and rear lights. Planet Bike has outdone themselves with the Superflash/Blaze light set. I don't think I've ever looked into a rear blinky and had the image of the light burned into my retina after I closed my eyes before. If you commute during dawn/dusk and very dark conditions, these are your lights.
Pros
- Great visibility
- Long battery life
- Nice bright LED light
Cons
- Batteries not rechargable
- No battery life indicator
Best Uses
- Front headlight
- Night commute
- Rear safety light
Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
These lights are terrific for the price!
The headlight emits a nice, bright bluish white light. It has both flash and solid modes.
The rear safety light is very bright with 3 LEDs. It also has a flash mode with a crazy flash pattern that really can't be ignored and really gets noticed. It also has a solid on mode. I have 2 of these, one which I put in flash mode to help get noticed and the other I put on solid to help indicate my position to motorists.
The only cons I would say with these lights is that the batteries aren't rechargable and they don't have any sort of battery life indicator.
However, for the price, these lights are fantastic! Top-notch product! I'm actually about to purchase these for my son. I would recommend them to anyone seeking some good safety lights that won't break the bank.
Pros
- Great visibility
Cons

Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
Easy front mounting, smaller than the Cateyes.The rear blinky stands out, it will blind you..I have a Topeak rear rack, and had to buy an extra $5 Planet bike rack bracket that screws to the rack's tailight holes. Once done, easy and secure.A bit hard to find, they should make it easier to get. Planet Bike SKU #3108, Taillight Rack Bracket.
Pros
Cons
- Poor mount design
Best Uses
Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
Until you lose it, the taillight is great (I have no complaints with the headlight, and would rate it 5 stars). Unfortunately, the design of the taillight mounting bracket makes it very easy to lose the taillight when you hit a bump. Mine lasted a few weeks only. Of course you could say it was my fault, when I lost the taillight the first time, but found it, and didn't duct tape it to the mount. But I didn't, and two days later lost it for good. [Technical description: the taillight will easily bend toward the seat post over time, as you go over bumps. Eventually the clip will touch the seat post. A few more bumps and the latch will become 'unlocked.' A few more bumps and the light will jump out of the bracket. You may not notice when this happens; if you don't, goodbye light.]

Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
I ride my bike more than I drive, and I don't like to carry my lights when I lock my bike, so these lights are well priced for something that could get ripped off unlike some [$]lights that are better for trail-riding. I have never seen a rear light brighter then this one, and the front light works great for making those potholes stick out, while casting it's glow at least 200 feet making you clearly visible from a distance.

Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
Debated over lights because of all the options and prices. After several recommendations form cycle shops (all picked this set) I am glad I purchased. Very bright front and rear. Front light will light up reflective signs / material for blocks.
My only con is mounting, I have a Topeak Rack and wish there was a more secure mount bracket for it, however it works just fine.
If it ever fail's, I would purchase another in a second.

Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
Bought this combo last year; the lights are great. Discovered that when the headlight was on "flash", my heart rate monitor would shoot up to 300+. No prob, just quit using flash. Changed wireless cyclocomputers, the heart rate's fine; but now, if the light's on flash, my speed is over 40. If the light's on steady, the speedo doesn't work at all. VERY disappointing!

Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
I work in the evenings and commute RT 12 miles, so lighting and attention is very important for me. Owned this for a month and have not ridden in rain yet but so far I am highly satisfied. The front is a little better than average but the back light is out of this world. Wish there was more mounting options so I can tie a 2nd pair maybe on my other handlebar and back pack.

Comments about Planet Bike Superflash / Blaze Bike Light Set:
I bought this product based on a cycling magazine review. One reason was because I could use AA rechargeable which I use for my camera.
I mounted the tail light on the left seat stay. It pretty much stayed there through over 100 miles of riding on Maryland's Eastern Shore and N. Carolina's Outer Bank none of which were overly rough.
The headlight put out a terrific light, in fact good enough for 8 of us to ride by as we dashed to the ferry in a pre-dawn sprint.
However, I couldn't seem to get the handlebar mount tight enough on my carbon fiber so the light would kinda start to droop. Even so, I managed to keep it pointed over my handlebar bag.
The tail light is difficult to mount on the left seat stay because the screw head is on the right side of the bracket (if one mounts it white light up. It just occurred to me I could mount it, "upside down")which means one has to either mount the bracket with the rear wheel off, or work around/through the rear wheel.
A great pair.

Good for dusk, dawn, urban streets or returning home late. Not the brightest, but you're not paying a premium. Easy to install. I use it constantly and don't regret the purchase.
