versatile little light December 28, 2008
A lot of light out of this compact unit. Bought two of these for a friend who rides busy city streets as this light, while having 4 LEDs, doesn't offer a 2-on, 2-flashing option like my Blackburn Quadrant. He uses one flashing on his handlebars to be seen by traffic/pedestrians and the other on his helmet for illumination. He loves them. Plus the headband option is great for camping.
 failed on first use November 24, 2008
Looks good and works fine - once -
The small on / off and selection switch failed with the first usage. It is far too fragile.
Excellent! July 4, 2008

I use this as part of my night-riding gear and it is great. Having a light that shines with your gaze is invaluable --and its light weight is a luxury. The mounting options that came with the light were unimpressive however. After tinkering with them for a bit, I used an ordinary velcro strap which I threaded through two front vents on my helmet. I clipped the light onto that and have been very satisfied.
 Mount Sport Spot and Blinky "3H" taillight on bicycle helmet April 19, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Sport Spot makes a great "see me" helmet headlight, especially if you combine it with the Planet Bike Blinky "3H" 3-Led Rear Bicycle Light with Self Leveling Helmet Mount as a helmet taillight. With the Sport Spot, it's fantastic to be able to point a light at drivers just by looking at them. Since the Blinky "3H" swings, it sort of flashes randomly without using the flash mode. (I use a separate flashing taillight attached to my backpack.) These lights are very light weight. I hardly know I have them mounted on my helmet. Most people who see me with them on my helmet think they're great. These two should be sold as a combo since the headlight takes three batteries, and the rear light takes one, so you can easily recharge four NiMH batteries at a time. The only deficiency on the Sport Spot headlight is that it's tough to get the mounting angle right with the limited places to strap it onto your helmet, so you might have to glue a little wedge on it to adjust the angle.
Another great night safety product is the Planet Bike BRT Strap Multi-Use LED Bicycle Safety Light. Nearly the whole strap (7" x 13/16" of it) glows or blinks bright red when it's turned on -- it appears as a yellow reflective surface when it's off. It works great. It's lightweight, easy to use and comfortable, plus fits in my hip-pack nicely. I use it as a leg-light (above my left calf) for night biking or late afternoon inline skating. Having a light move as you pedal, and highlight the left edge of your bike provides a major safety advantage.
If you bike much at night, do yourself and your loved ones a favor and get all three, the BRT Strap, the Sport Spot, and Blinky "3H". I highly recommend all three of them.
I also strongly recommend a bright safety vest, jersey, or jacket for day and night biking. A good one can provide a dramatic reduction in scary incidents -- people turning in front of you or coming by too close. I try hard to always use one -- it makes an amazing difference -- people seem to have an automatic reflex to be much more cautious and wait for me to pass when they see my safety vest.
Great light March 9, 2008

This is a great little light. It's very bright and weighs very little. I bought it because it had the helmet strap so I use it in addition to the light I have mounted on my bar. I'm still on the original set of batteries, three months now. I bike commute two hours a day so I think that's amazing. I'd recommend this light to anyone looking for a good "to be seen light".
