Sports equipment > LED Bicycle Light

Whether you're a 24-hour racer or a super commuter, the Planet Bike Beamer 3 bicycle light will keep your path well lit. The Beamer 3 is equipped with three white Nichia eXtreme v2.0 LEDs, which not only illuminate your way after the sun has gone down, but also make you visible to passing cars or pedestrians. In addition, the light attaches securely to your bike thanks to the Quick Cam bracket mounts, which adjust or remove in seconds without tools. The Beamer 3--which offers up to 100 hours of run-time on two AA batteries (included)--boasts both flashing and steady modes and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Best LED light I own (and I have 6), January 7, 2010
This light is the best LED light I own, especially for only 3 LEDs. The pattern of light is like a spot light and is bright and white. I can see trail details in a approximate 15 foot circle in detail at least 20 feet out, and larger details like trees, cars, etc. out to about 50'. It is also very easy to install, and stays in place well no matter the amount of bounce (I ride a mountain/comfort bike). I Like that when you want to remove it, you can either slide the light off the mount easily, or if you wanted to mount it on another bike, the quick release clip is just a "flick" away from release.
Aside from the solid mount where you can easily remove the light for using the light to assist will fixing a flat at night, I love how solid the light is. Most of my other LED lights have an issue with the rear spring the batteries make connection with, and if bounced around, the light will flicker. This one does not.
If I have a failure with the original (I used this light all last year without even replacing the batteries), I will replace it with the same make and model.
