works good…but it’s tricky…at first,
while the Blinky 5 performs to the level I expected it didn’t come with any directions on how to open and install batteries…so after some research I checked out planet bikes website. In the FAQ there are generalized directions for opening the light which make you wonder why it’s not just printed on the box. “Place a coin in corner of light where the parts meet and twist. Insert Batteries.”
|Awesome little light.,
I installed a bike rack that had a mount and standard reflector, but since my neighborhood jaunts take through traffic at times, I wanted something a little more visible to cars.
This blinky has 5 bright LEDs, two lighting options (blink or steady), and an option to clip it to clothing or bags, mount it to your seatpost or attach it to a reflector mount on your rack. Both mounts are included in the package, along with batteries. At least one of these mounts, the Planet Bike Rear Rack Taillight Mount 3108, sells separately as well.
The bracket mounted to the rack easily, and the light clip snaps into a groove. I did take the precaution of hanging the light so that it must be slid up to remove it after bending back the catch, rather than slid down.
Its obscenely bright, but that’s what I wanted, and doesn’t hang too low in the rear bracket, but fits perfectly under the rear of my Bontrager trunk rack. When I start commuting, I think I’ll get a second to mount on the seat post, and then unclip the light and attach it to the trunk-bag when it’s on the rack.
