Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're a 24-hour racer or a super commuter, the Beamer 5 LED bike light from Planet Bike gives you the power to light up the night. The light includes five white Nichia eXtreme v2.0 LED lights that help you see clearly at night while alerting drivers and other cyclists to your presence. The lights not only illuminate your path, but they're also four times brighter than many earlier LED incarnations, ensuring that you don't miss certain landscape features because the lights are too dim. Plus, the Beamer 5 is a breeze to install, with an easy-to-use Quick Cam bracket that mounts, adjusts, or comes off in seconds without tools. The Beamer 5, which runs for up to 100 hours on two AA batteries (included), offers both flashing and steady modes and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Planet Bike Beamer 5 LED Bicycle Light with Quick Cam Bracket Mount Reviews
| 246 of 248 people found the following review helpful:  Compared to Planet Bike Beamer 3, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Planet Bike Beamer 5 LED Bicycle Light with Quick Cam Bracket Mount (Sports) First off, I'd like to say I own both Planet Bike Beamer 3 and 5. I bought them both from Amazon when they were both priced at about 16 bucks. I've taken both lights out to compare how they would perform. Both lights are very bright and will force cars, joggers, and anyone to notice you. I would say they are the perfect light for urban use and a minimum for suburban use. They light up the road relatively well from 10-20 feet away from you. They both have flashing and constant on modes. Flashing in both models seem to be brighter than constant on. I do prefer the Planet Bike Beamer 3 over the 5 though. When comparing the two, the 5 seems to scatter the light a little bit. Let me try to explain; when using both lights shining against a wall, they both project a circle, same size and brightness. But with the 5, the outer edge looks fuzzy. With the 3, the circumference of the circle is very solid and sharp. Also the light color on the 3 is more white colored light,...

The safety margin is not worth the saving, so I use regular alkaline batteries. The "flashing" mode bright flashes can be seen over a city block away, but the bright flashes are very disturbing when I am riding in dark areas. The continuous "on" mode does not gives sufficient light to ride safely when there is no other light source like street lights. This light serves me well in getting drivers' attention from on coming traffic, and is worth the price; going to get additional head light for night riding. |
