      Comments about Planet Bike Super Flash Stealth Rear Bike Light:

      Fantastic light, super light, amazing battery life, wonderfully bright. Almost perfect, becomes a little unreliable in the rain-when really wet, unit can shut off. Worth it anyway.

        Comments about Planet Bike Super Flash Stealth Rear Bike Light:

        Good light from Planet Bike, but not quite their best choice. First, photos are confusing; this clear-lens light looks like it blinks white for a headlight flasher, but its three LEDs actually blink in red.
        BEST choice for high-visibility tail light is still their original SuperFlash model, same price, with white body and red lens. This model is, oddly, the identical light but with the red lens inexplicably replaced by a clear lens. Odd because there's no advantage, just the opposite, there's an obvious loss in removing the red lens from the tail light. In both 'flash' and especially 'steady-on' mode, the red-lens SuperFlash is a brilliant full-red light similiar to a motorcycle or auto tail light. In this 'stealth' version, only the actual LEDs are red in color, like tiny Christmas tree lights; the lens is clear, so no red multiplier effect on the LEDs. Side by side, the original SuperFlash is much more effective, especially so in 'steady-on' mode. Honestly can't imagine why they would make a be-seen bike light that's LESS noticeable than their bestseller model.
        So for the same price, weight, battery life (long!)etc, buy the original Superflash from PB. PB is pairing this Stealth model with their very good Blaze headlights as a set; too bad they don't currently offer the original red-lens Superflash as a pair with the Blaze. So avoid the Stealth, buy the Original Superflash, you'll be glad.

          This is a great bike light. It's highly visible and gets you noticed.

          As a commercial driver and a bike commuter in Seattle I see a lot of lights good and bad, and this is one that I really see a lot.

            This is the clear-cover version of the regular Superflash, famed for this brightness even during the day. Regular and Stealth have red lights, but this one has a clear/black style rather than the original red/white style. The Superflash at its price is one of the best value: bright, reliable, long lasting, grabs attention even during the day. Do a search and you will see the number of people who firmly support this!

              Comments about Planet Bike Super Flash Stealth Rear Bike Light:

              I recommend these to everyone. They're MUCH more visible than most of the taillights on the market, convenient to move from bike mount to bag, and the batteries just last and last (and can be replaced with rechargeable AAAs when they finally die). If only I could find a headlight I was so pleased with at this price point!

                Great visibility and I feel safer for my commute during daytime especially during daybreak and early dusk. I plan to use when ever I'm running with the traffic, day or night.

                This is a little gem for gift giving to my family and friends.

                  I've been using this light mounted on my rear pannier(traffic side of course) for about a month with no issues. I did have to use a zip tie to secure it, but until I have to replace the battery it seems secure. The light is adequate - I would like it to be brighter, but at this price point this is a great deal and a good light for being seen.

                    I commute to school most days, 14 miles each way. I am on paved trails, dirt trails, and city roads. This light gets me noticed. Just as importantly, it's durable. I've smacked it into railings and while it may break apart, it hasn't broken. Snap it back together and I'm on my way.

                    I've had a number of different rear lights, and this one is my favorite to date.
