Review: Perfect little light - I've had pretty good luck with Planet bike lights, although the switches on a couple of older ones I've had died after several years. Those were the older design, where there was no button, and you just pressed in on the plastic to activate the switch, so maybe the newer lights with real switches are more durable (although, all flashlight and bike light switches seem to die eventually). Anyway, this light is about perfect - the switch has an actual button, it has steady (very bright) and two flashing modes - one that I'd call "crazy obnoxious seizure-inducing," and the other that's a nice calm, slower flash - a very nice touch! And it comes with a rack mount. It also incorporates a reflector. Most importantly, it takes AAA batteries, so you can buy rechargables and a recharger and spend next to nothing over the years on batteries. I can understand why some people like USB-recharger lights, but if you live in a city, you might want to bolt the light onto the bike with tamper-resistant screws. You can do this with PB rack-mounted lights by putting in a metal L-bracket that goes behind and over the top of the light, then you can just take the outside half of the light off of the bike when you need to change batteries (the red half of the light, that contains the batteries and LED bits, pops off, leaving the black half with no electronics attached to the bike).
Review: Great visibility - First impression out of the box: I found them to be a little small as they were almost half the size as the original light my bike came with. The light came with two AAA batteries already in and ready to go. There is a big soft blue button on the back side of the light that is very easy to find. I found the light to be much brighter than the original light my bike came with so at that point, I did not care about the size anymore. Mounting: It came with a rear rack mount as well as a seat post mount. Installation to the rear rack mount was very simple and took about 5 minutes. Although I didn’t need the instructions, the images are very straightforward. 3 settings: Steady, “Superflash,” and Courtesy. -Steady is just the light at 13 lumens without any effects. -Superflash is a flashing or strobing light at 13 lumens. -Courtesy is a pulsing light that goes from 4 to 11 lumens. For people who ride with daytime lights, I can’t say the light is really noticeable in the daytime but it works as a reflector. It may be more noticeable on cloudy days or maybe early in the morning or evening. *This light DOES NOT turn off automatically after a minute of being stationary so you do have to manually press the button on the rear to turn it off and on. Waterproofing: The light is rated at IPX3 (protected against water spraying at a 60 degree angle) and has a rubber or silicone gasket so although not completely waterproof, it should be fine in the rain. I personally live where it doesn’t rain very often so I’m not too worried about it. Overall, it seems like a good sturdy light. I often ride on bumpy roads so I would like to see how well it holds up in the long run.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DESTROY the Dark!
*by J***R on May 29, 2018*

I believe I hit on the ultimate lighting package for a road bike, at least for me. The following system hits all my requirements: 1. Flashlight/headlight is aluminum body (tough) and BRIGHT. 2. Everything performs double or triple duty. 3. Headlight and taillight can be installed and removed one-handed. 4. Everything can be removed quickly. 5. Everything is certified waterproof with the flashlight having the highest rating. 6. Nothing moves around while riding. 7. No wires or battery pack. 8. Most components are rechargeable. 9. Critical units can be re-batteried if necessary on long rides. 10. Secondary taillight/headlight can be very easily moved to another bike. HEADLIGHT: The Uelfbaby 1000 lumen rechargeable flashlight is a very robust and clever design with the USB charging port sealed behind a rubber o-ring. I have an expensive tactical light that's 700 lumens and this is quite a bit brighter and whiter, it's easily as bright as an average car high beam. It does have a slight "bullseye" of light, which is not a problem while riding. It's IPX7 so it's submersible to one meter. The Uelfbaby takes a 18650 rechargeable battery, which can either be charged by USB or on a separate charger (not included). This is a much better flashlight than I was expecting, though I would only run it as a weapon light as a last resort... I haven't tested it with recoil and it doesn't have a momentary function, but it does have a strobe setting and it's retina-scorching enough to use as a deterrent against humans or dogs. It comes with a really slick mount, which looks like plastic but it's actually very dense rubber which holds the light perfectly, plus the light can be installed and removed with one hand. The Uelfbaby comes with a rechargeable taillight which is actually pretty cool but I'm using it as a backup. PRIMARY TAILLIGHT: I recently put a Grateful Red on the back of my rack, it's the perfect size and brightness, and can also be installed and removed with one hand. The GR takes 3 AAA's and it's the only non-rechargeable in my system. It performs double-duty as a reflector. SECONDARY TAILLIGHT: I run a Blackburn 2'FER (not the XL) on the seat tube in tandem with the Grateful Red. It's super tiny, it runs a long time on a charge, and it's EXTREMELY bright for its size. Unlike the GR it has dual white and red settings, so it can be used as a daylight strobe as well as a backup headlight or flashlight. It attaches with a heavy rubber strap so it takes two hands to install, one to remove. CONCLUSION: The Grateful Red and the Blackburn 2'FER pulse differently, and together they demand almost as much attention as a police car (literally... On one of my first night trips I had a guy slow down just to tell me he was amazed and saw me from a mile away). With the thousand lumen Uelfbaby torch out front, I don't believe there is a better system. Buy it, now. Now. Three, two, one, now. Buy it now. :-)
