Customer Rating:
Summary: Blindingly bright
Comment: It's nearly impossible to ride behind a rider with this light flashing. The bright LED is ideal for dusk when some daylight remains, it cuts through to following drivers' eyes. I've installed these on three steeds.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hands down one of the brightest taillights out there right now.
Comment: This thing is bright and well built. I have not had any problems with it so far. Because of its brightness, I use it day and night and feel much safer with it.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great design in theory, poor quality control
Comment: I have tested countless rear bicycle tail lights. No tail light so far is without problems. Planet Bike makes very good products. To be considered a great tail light a few requirements must be met: Easy, secure mounting, great optics for viewing straight on and from the sides, and a durable, quality switch. Planet Bike has a good, not great mount (the light tends to jiggle in the mount, which may simply be a quality control issue, not a design issue), very good straight on optics, and average optics from the side. Where is fails is in the switch category. I have purchased 4 of these lights, and two of them have defective switches. The light will change modes (from on to off to blinking) when you hit minor defects in the road. 3 stars for the light (very good straight on viewing, average side viewing), 3 stars for the mount, and 0 stars for the switch, arrives at the 2 star rating. They need to either use a Cateye type switch, or a Princeton Tec Swerve type switch.

Summary: Extremely Visible, Even in least ideal conditions
Comment: I bought this taillight based on the reviews here on amazon, but I hesitated to provide a review because how am I really supposed to judge how well it works while I am on my bike?
Well today I was driving my car on a very heavily lit busy street, in very foggy conditions, and as I was driving I turned the corner and was immediately aware of a very prominent and frankly slightly annoying blinking red light. It was visible between tons of cars and street lamps, and I drove up closer to try and figure out what light it was and sure enough it was the same light I had purchased for my bike. This to me was plenty of proof that I would not be looked over when I was on my bike, as this light was almost more apparently than all the car tail lights I saw. Amazing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: super bright
Comment: much brighter than the other lights I have used, small, reasonably light, perfect clip for the back of my seatpost bag. Standard batteries. Love it!
