Blackburn Mars 2.0 Flasher Rear Bicycle Light Review

Blackburn Mars 2.0 Flasher Rear Bicycle LightIt is a big and bright light that turns on easily with a rubberized switch.In addition to solid on, there are two flashing patterns.The battery life is amazingly long when you stick with the flashing modes.

However, when you do have to change the battery, you'll be removing some screws to open the cover.If you ride on salty roads, you'll also discover that the hardware isn't stainless.The screws on mine became pretty rusty over one winter.

About Blackburn
In 1975, Jim Blackburn set out to design stronger, lighter, more innovative and more reliable cycling products. The first were bags and racks designed for touring. From there, Blackburn grew. Over the next 30 years, Blackburn's spark of innovation would lead to many revolutionary products, like the first high quality aircraft aluminum rack, the first dual stroke minipump, the first oversized mountain minipump and the first dual stage/dual stroke floorpump just to name a few. For 2005, Blackburn's creative spark is burning brighter than ever. And as we head into our 30th year, Blackburn is re-dedicated to designing smart, reliable, no nonsense accessories that are essential to your riding experience.

Cateye EL-220 and TL-LD270R Bicycle Headlight and Tail Light Combination Review

Cateye EL-220 and TL-LD270R Bicycle Headlight and Tail Light CombinationThis set of lights is very easy to install. The front light is very bright... I think I can see upto 6-8 feet ahead when I ride in almost complete dark environment. Build-quality is quite good... not so filmsy as well as the plastic finishing is not so cheap-feeling (unlike some that I saw at Walmart). I like this very much!... so that I want to ride my bike every night!

Topeak Red Lite 4-LED Ultra-Bright Rear Bicycle Light Review

Topeak Red Lite 4-LED Ultra-Bright Rear Bicycle LightI'm changing my review after two months of use. Yesterday the unit broke off my topeak trunk rack when loading it in my car trunk. I will not replace it with the same light. Before it broke it looked like the clip mount was also breaking anyways. It just was not bright enough. There is another light I have which is much stronger called the planet bike superflash, which I will buy a second one and have two mounted.

Topeak RedLite UFO Rear Bicycle Light Review

Topeak RedLite UFO Rear Bicycle LightI originally thought that the Topeak RedLite UFO would be a great addition to my extremely well made Topeak MX trunk bag and rear-rack system.Alas, I'm pretty disappointed with the RedLite UFO overall, especially given its relatively high cost.

The idea -- a clippable tail light that would emit 180-degrees of marker illumination -- seemed great, particularly since the light was designed to clip onto the very sort of Topeak trunk bag I owned.

Unfortunately the red LEDs in the RedLite UFO, not very bright to begin with, radiate in a very limited vertical axis.This means that, unless the light happens to be vertically oriented at exactly the right angle, most people driving cars won't see the light at its brightest.Too bad then that maintaining a particular vertical orientation is essentially impossible when the light is clipped onto the fabric of a trunk bag...

Note too that the placement and ludicrously low intensity of the light's yellow LEDs makes them essentially useless as marker lights.The yellow LEDs do virtually nothing beyond providing rather superfluous illumnation of the light's control button.

In the end, my new RedLite UFO compares extremely poorly with the Cateye TL-LD 1000 I also own.Given that both lights are premiumpriced, I'd suggest you do some comparison shopping if you're looking for bright, horizontally and vertically wide-angled marker illumination for your bike.

Nirve Tiki Ornament Bike Light Review

Nirve Tiki Ornament Bike LightIt's great fun for the price, it looks marevelously wacky on a bicycle, and provides a minimal amount of increased night time visibility.On the other hand, it's pretty cheaply made, and I gave up after too much time spent on trying to attach it to the handle bars with the mounting equipment that's included.It might mount easily to an old fashioned bicycle front wheel fender, but if I had a vintage bike like that, I wouldn't mar it with extra holes.I ended up attaching it to the rear bike rack using duct tape, and that actually makes it more amusing.
