Jerry Acosta Date Reviewed: April 22, 2012 Strengths: I love the overall lumens and I feel the brightness is effective in all conditions for safety and visual perceptions. It is the best light I've owned. Weaknesses: As far as the light itself I can't think of any weakness I can comment on. One thing I am noticing is that the handlebar mount is starting to crack on important mounting structures. The looseness creates an inconvenience of frequent adjustments during a ride. I've owed this product for 4 years so not bad for durability. I'm wondering where I could find a replacement for the handlebar mount for the Planet Bike Beamer 5 White LED? Any suggestions? Bottom Line:
