Low Price Planet Bike 3040 Superflash Tail Light and Blaze Headlight Light Set


The tail light is perfect - no arguments there. My issue is with the 1/2 Watt headlight. It works great for "being seen" but isn't enough light for "seeing" on dark, unlit roads. I like to use this combination for those evenings when I'm out riding and get caught just past sunset and it's still light enough for me to see. It's also a decent light for riding in city environments where there is enough ambient light from streets, cars and other sources. I wouldn't recommend it as your only light source. I got caught on a lonely, unlit bike path one night and at my average biking speed (~ 17mph) I could barely react fast enough. The light didn't have enough reach which necessitated that I slow down so I wasn't out racing the light. It's still a great light combo for general use but I've definitely got to find a brighter light for some of my night riding.Get more detail about Planet Bike 3040 Superflash Tail Light and Blaze Headlight Light Set.
