 Decent, but... November 12, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
this is a quality light that covers a decent area and is visible to cars. i use it in only an urban setting, so i can't comment on how it works in a really dark application. one serious flaw is that the mounting strap is really fat and will not close down on just any bike. i have an old fire mountain and this thing will NOT stay tight. any time i hit a bump, drop off a curb, etc, the light spins up off the road and right into my face. it's probably pretty funny looking to everyone sitting in traffic, but it's starting to get old. i even tried tampering with the hardware (it's just a #10 mech. screw), but haven't had any luck. i will update this review if i figure something out, but i doubt there's anything i can do.
 Good light for a good price November 11, 2008
I'm pretty happy with the LED bike light. It was easy to install, arrived at my house in a reasonable amount of time, and uses a common battery size. I was looking for a light that would not only make me more visable to traffic but would allow me to see better in low light areas. This product does that for a reasonable price. The light both flashes and stays constantly illuminated based on your preference. I used it almost every day for a month with no problems and the same batteries. I'd buy this product again if I ever needed another bicycle light.
Hard to go wrong with this light November 6, 2008
This light is surprisingly bright for its size and is easy to mount. It uses two AA batteries, which is a reasonable choice for the 3 LEDs which power it. It allows for easy detachment from its mount should you need to park the bike away from home. Since I can't find any negatives for the product, I've given it five stars.
bike light November 4, 2008
This light shows up great. My neighbors say we have great visibility when we ride at night.
 Excellent for commuting November 2, 2008

I bike 4 miles (one-way) to a suburban train station daily. My last head light was lifted off my bike. So I was looking for a replacement that is easy to remove and install. With Beamer 3, I can do it in a couple of seconds. On the street, I use the flashing mode and car-drivers can see me well (they yield). On the bike trail, where there is no other light source, I have to switch to constant mode and dip the angle of the light to see better. If you are in unfamiliar territories, the light may not be enough (or you have to go slower). But it is definitely good for commuting purpose. I use rechargeable batteries for my Beamer 3. After 4 weeks' use (it was dark both ways most of the days), I still do not need to recharge them. The Beamer 3 serves my needs well. Now that the price has dropped further since I got them (I bought two), I highly recommend the Bearmer 3 for commuters.
