Amazon.com Product Description: Whether you're a 24-hour racer or a super commuter, the Beamer 5 LED bike light from Planet Bike gives you the power to light up the night. The light includes five white Nichia eXtreme v2.0 LED lights that help you see clearly at night while alerting drivers and other cyclists to your presence. The lights not only illuminate your path, but they're also four times brighter than many earlier LED incarnations, ensuring that you don't miss certain landscape features because the lights are too dim. Plus, the Beamer 5 is a breeze to install, with an easy-to-use Quick Cam bracket that mounts, adjusts, or comes off in seconds without tools. The Beamer 5, which runs for up to 100 hours on two AA batteries (included), offers both flashing and steady modes and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
About Planet Bike In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Rating: - Love the light, hate the bracket
I'm a city rider who frequently rides after dark or before dawn and this light is PERFECT for getting the attention of those behind the wheel. The blinking mode is rapid and hard to ignore.
Rating: - Great Light for my needs
Flashing light can be seen for quite some distance. I especially like that the light can be seen from the side with this design. In constant light mode the beam is fairly good for a LED system. I usually ride ... Read More
Rating: - good product, not a flood light obviously
You're buying a 5 LED bike light, so if you're expecting to see like it's noon on your dark ride home- you're in the wrong market. For the price this is the best bike light I've found or personally seen. It's ... Read More
