Review:

The light is plenty bright for night riding, and has several different adjustments so you can choose a balance between battery life and brightness. If you're a night traveler on your bike and want a light that lasts a long time then this is the light for you!! It puts out a excellent amount of light even using just three leds instead of using all of them and plus it will last a long time over 120 hours on this setting (maybe more)!! Excellent bike light for the right price!!

Review:

This is extremely bright - it's amazing for only running on four aa batteries. I do a lot of "night biking" around 5-6 AM for exercise, and safety on city streets is a big thing for me. This seems as bright as a motorcycle headlight and is supposed to run 30 hours on four AAs (I haven't had it that long yet). It doesn't flash. It has a very focused beam, and I was concerned whether drivers at the side would see it. Somehow, it doesn't really cast light on the ground to the side, but I was happy to notice that if you stand at almost a 90 degree angle, you see the white point of light pretty brightly for drivers to notice you. Easy to take on/off, easy replace batteries. This is gonna be a lot brighter than any older "flashlight" type headlamp, but doesn't take you into the investment of a $150 system with a separate brick-sized battery pack. It's rated 1000 candlepower and the mid-range lights in this brand are around 300.

Review:

The Blackburn Quadrant and Mars 3.0 Combo Bicycle Light Set is a great product for the price and really visible!!
At first I was hesitant to get a battery powered headlight and taillight, but after I installed it (with ease), I LOVED IT!! The LED headlight is very bright and the LED taillight is virtually impossible to miss (I think it is as prominent as some motorcycle taillights). The ability to flash each light and the taillight also having orange lights on the side makes it even more visible. Mounting the lights on my bike only took 15 minutes and only the taillight needed for me to use a screwdriver (to tighten and tweak the angle). The LEDs are really great and so far after using it for over 4 hours, I see no fade in the light power. The headlight has four LEDs with 3 modes (4 steady, 2 blink 2 steady, and 4 blinking (which looks like a strobe light)) and the rear also has 3 modes (steady, steady blinking, and random blinking). Be aware that you will need a jewelers screwdriver to open the rear taillight to install the batteries. Each of the lights detaches from the bike mounts and allow you to use them when camping or to clip on the taillight to your bookbag or clothing for visibility when walking along a highway or where cars are present, and the headlight can be used as a nice flashlight. The only thing I have to say is that you still need to look out for cab drivers in the Big Apple, since they can't stand that your lights are brighter than theirs and seem drawn to bikers while driving. Get these lights, you'll love it - I know I did!
