Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

I just picked this light up the other day and I am very happy with it. I couldn't find any reviews or first hand info about the niterider cherrybomb online. I wanted a light as bright or brighter than the famed planet bike superflash and this is it. Both lights have a 1/2watt led strobe, but the cherrybomb has a wider beam pattern and a faster flash. I had my friend hold up the two lights and the cherrybomb was significantly brighter from different angles.

Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

Stock plastic clip will not hold the light to the bike if you ride over bumps, even lane divider dots, on high pressure (100 psi) tires at speed (+/- 25 mph). I've lost three rear blinkies due to this problem... The industry needs to develop a better mounting system.

Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

I rode behind a guy that had this light on his bike and it was blinding! I thought my large clumsy light was the best until I saw this one. I bought two just to have a spare. This light will get you noticed for sure. Safety is very important with me so good lights are a must. Great light for the value.

Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

After seeing wimpy safety tail lights on other riders bikes, I went with the CherryBomb based on the reviews. I'm very happy with my choice. Very bright, good size and hangs straight when clipped on my saddle bag. I appreciate the other mounting options too.

Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

This lamp is so bright. It works great. Battery life seems pretty good as I've not replaced it after 3 months of 2 to 3 rides per week after dark. The mount was not great. I end up having to do some real work to attach it, removing reflector from back rack, bending the rack mount up, and cutting off most of the lamps mounting system. That said its solid now though I'm not mountain biking with it either. The lamp is totally worth it but it make take a bit of engineering to mount it to your bike

Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

You WILL be seen if you use this light. This thing is BRIGHT. I hook one on the back of my helmet sometimes. When I wear a pack cycling at night, I hook one back there. Maybe not reliable to stay on the frame or a solid surface on the bike -- but if you throw a rubber band on the mounting clip and over the frame or rack to which you attach it, it'll stick. And it has a bonus use: I hook one on the back of my ballcap (on the adjustment strap) when running in the city at night.

No matter what you get, you are going to lose your light or it is going to be stolen, so you don't want to spend too much in any case. These are inexpensive, work well and . . . did I already say this . . . you WILL be seen.

Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

I am an early morning small town commuter and absolutely love this light from a safety perspective. It is an extremely bright flashing light, you can't miss it, and I have not seen any other product that compares to it, regardless of price. Great product.

Comments about NiteRider CherryBomb Rear Bike Light:

This rear strobe is far brighter than any other rear light I have purchased (I have about 7 others). Definitely visible from a very wide angle at night or in daylight. It is so bright that my riding friend does not want to follow me when it is turned on - even in daylight. I intend to buy two more for my trailer.

As with all rear lights some imagination must be used on occasion when mounting to anything other than a seat post or trailer frame tube. I found the mounting to be quite flexible with my imagination when I screwed it to a pre-drilled hole in my rear rack.
