Just they made a blackred variant instead of just redwhite or clearblack. I don't think clear is legal for rear light if you don't also have a red reflector - but don't quote me on that. But I do love this light. I have it attached to my saddle pack.

Best AAA Battery Back Light I've Used

The light is used for late rides where the return trip is at dusk. I use it in flasher mode which extends the battery life quite a bit. Best for road use, as I have had it come off of the mounting clip on bumping trails on my mtb.

Overall this is a great light! Very bright, has a cool flash pattern, energy efficient. My only gripe is the on-off switch. It requires a lot of searching for the exact right spot to push, and then a lot of pressure to turn on-off. Maybe I'm being picky? The only flaw in an otherwise super product!

This light catches your attention when it comes into view. A bright red blinking light and it seems visible from a very wide angle of view. And in the dark is it difficult to miss, even if not looking directly at it. The price seems more than fair for how well it works. I cannot recall how many hours are on the batteries, so suffice to say they last quite a while. I am sure that I have 70 hours at this point. I have have had no issues at all and I have bought three of these lights. Two for my present bikes and a replacement for one that turned up missing.

I would buy again.

I wanted a light that would wake up drivers when they approach me from the rear. This light does that. It is really bright and can be seen from a long way off which is what you want when you are riding beside any highway or on those country roads. I hope I can find a similar light for the front.

This light fits perfectly on my seat post or clips nicely to my jersey. Easy to clip on or off the bike. Very bright light that is very visible at night or low light hours.

This tail light can be clearly seen from a significant distance by motorists who are paying attention. The are even quite visible during the day. The installation options are excellent. As the lead cyclist for out and back running races, these lights get oncomming runners' attention and aid in enableling me to clear the way for the first place runner as we pass back through the pack.

The only tail light you'll ever need!

I think this is the best tail light out there. I've tried others but this one has survived through rain and being jettisoned off my saddle bag on a super bumpy descent. It's really bright yet doesn't burn the retinas of my friends riding behind me. They've improved the chain stay mount so it stays put and the light stayed on it on that same really bumpy descent. It's everything you need in a tail light and at a great price.

Having sampled a couple dozen different lights over the decades, the best there is. Especially good for training alone. I use two on the front and two on the back of the helmet clipped over zip-ties. Local bad roads or cyclocross eventually destroy everything mounted to the bike. I still have the 0.5 watt lights, buy the new 1.0 watt version.

The other reviews say it all.

I have used various other lights but nothing comes close to the Blinky in this price range.

In fact double the price and you will still not find a better brighter light.

I got the light for low-light riding. I don't always use the same bike. The mounts are ugly and assume your stays are round. I used the built in clip to attach to my jersey, or my commuting backpack. It fell off the backpack.

This is the best blinky light out there. They have a pulse of brighter light in between flashes of lesser light that really gets attention. When riding at night getting attention is everything. The only thing I don't like about this light is that if you just clip it to your bag or jacket expect to lose it. The clip doesn't stay put unless you secure it with a rubber band or zip tie. I've lost one this way and found three on the road because some other poor souls lost theirs. It is very secure on the bike mount though. It's water tight and easy to turn on and off. One set of batteries lasts me all winter with my evening commute. You don't need to buy more expensive ones or look any further. Just get it.

I use this on dark cloudy days and when the sun is low. I clipped it on my utility rear bag and it holds nice. I only use the flashing setting and feel much safer as I know cars can see me when they are coming up from behind

Bright, well made. Sometimes it's hard to turn on of off because there is no button, you press on the bottom and flex the plastic housing. Just something you have to get used to. Sometimes I can reach back and turn it on while riding, sometimes I have to stop and get off the bike.
