Planet Bike BRT-3 Taillights includes batteries, seatpost and seatstay mounts.

Cheap, effective visibility from the rear when you bike.

The purpose of any LED tail light is to make sure cars coming up behind you know you're there. The Planet Bike Blinky 3 does a fine job at that, stays put, has great battery life and doesn't cost much. You get two mounting options - a big cheap plastic clip for the seat post and a smaller clip for a rear side strut. I put mine on the seat post. In past years when I had a baby seat I would have used the side strut. You also get two settings - steady and blinking. That's the only negative in my book. I can't imagine using anything but blinking.

This is pretty much a no brainer. My wife's has been through almost 8 years of abuse and has had only one battery change. I didn't think twice when it was time for my bike and my son's to get this safety enhancement. I now bike a lot during the late night. I haven't had a close call with a car coming up from my rear yet. Enough said.

good light

I bought this light for my husband. He really likes it!
At the first beginning we had no idea where to put the battery, but finally we figured it out: remove the red cover..

Really bright initially!

I bought this light together with Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash 1/2-Watt Blaze LED Plus 2 eXtreme LED Rear Bicycle Light. The run time for 1/2-Watt light seems to last Longer, however this light has better visibility initially when the batteries have more juce.

Its ok but check your seat post first

Nice and bright, different flash settings, great visibility, mounting needs a little improvement. If there's one piece of advice I can give is check your seat-post before using this light. The seat-post is the ideal spot for placing this since you want the flashing to be as high as possible. Unfortunately my Raleigh SC40 has a seat shock post which is far too wide to use the mounting :( The rear forks also do not accomodate the mounting so there are precious few places this can be done. Unfurtunately, this means my flashing light is relegated to operate from a plastic bag dangling from my seat :(

Bright LED's when viewed straight on-No so much from side.

This light can be seen from quite a distance from the rear with the bright LED's. Wish it had better visibility from the side.
