Submitted by dragonrider a Weekend Warrior from Melbourne, Australia
Date Reviewed: May 11, 2009
Favorite Trail:Alice Springs, Australia
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $45.00
Purchased At:BicycleSupply.net
Strengths:Blinker is awesome - may cause seizures in oncoming drivers. Attachment is fine - dont know what criticism is about (I have 31.8' palm-comfort bars). Relatively light. Relatively cheap.
Weaknesses:The screw mechanism to open (for battery change) rotates only 5 degrees to unlock. Feels solid now but over time may become loose and unscrew if going over a bump. Wouldn't use alone for night vision.
Similar Products Used:old cateye halogen - a battery drain.
Bike Setup:Giant TCR Advanced, Ultegra SL groupo
Bottom Line:Bought the Blaze 1 watt version together with Superflash tail light, good value. Bought mainly so that cars dont knock me off. Seems to be working well, even during the day. Time will tell regarding durability (opening mechanism above).
Value Rating:5Overall Rating:4

Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $39.00

Strengths:Great Battery life, bright flash with some side visability
Weaknesses:light marginal by itself but would be great as a aimed second light to fill in the space between the front tire and the beam of a stronger primary light (pehaps a good match with the Planet Bike Blaze 1 Watt or the forthcoming 2 Watt Blaze.
Similar Products Used:Cateye, Smart
