Amazon.com Product Description Ideal for safe commuting and for low-light riding, Planet Bike's Blaze 1-Watt LED headlight will keep your path well lit. The Blaze offers a high and low power beam along with SuperFlash flashing mode, which is highly visible in daylight as well as darker conditions. In addition, the light attaches securely to your bike thanks to the Quick Cam bracket mounts, which adjust or remove in seconds without tools. The Blaze--which offers high/low/flashing run times of 7, 14, 20 hours--runs on two included AA batteries. 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 1 watt LED headlight review August 4, 2010 Bornahusker This light is pretty much perfect for the biking that I do. I use it for commuting to and from work. Sometimes I don't get off work till 11PM so its completely dark outside when I do get off. It works very well to help me see potholes and other obstacles in the road in front of me. I haven't had any problems with this headlight so far, but I've only had it for 3 months now. The only thing I would say is that I had a hard time getting the light to stabilize on my handlebars, but once I tightened it more, its been working perfectly. Great headlight for commuting at night! I would buy this again if I had the choice.
Excellent light June 30, 2010 Brian 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great little light! Plenty bright for my nighttime city riding, flash mode when you just want to be seen, easy to switch between bicycles, and weeks later I have yet to replace the included batteries. When my girlfriend is riding in front of me, she always comments that she feels like there's a car headlight behind her!
This light makes you visible but doesn't light your way June 24, 2010 Jody Brooks 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I elaborate here. The light is not bad but it is not quite powerful enough to light your way without the help of a lot of ambient light: [..]
economical front headlight April 12, 2010 Ronald C. Pacanowski (Yardley, PA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This light is very well made as is the clamping mechanism. One drawback is that a handlebar bag obstructs the light beam. But that is not the fault of the light. I fashioned a bracket out of a metal rain gutter strap and mounted it off the handlebar stem so the light sits just above the fender on my touring bike. It works great there too. The beam of light is enough for riding on roads but don't expect to light up your back yard with this light.
Fell Apart Going Down a Small Curb - Second Time for a Planet Bike Light March 12, 2010 P. STEIMEL (Germantown, MD USA) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This light is bright and has good controls...But
Yesterday I was going off a very short curb and the front of the unit came off and it and the batteries tumbled down an interstate exit ramp. What makes this rather troubling is the same thing happened to my Planet Bike Superflash tail light. I don't ride very rough, and this should not happen with a safety equipment.
I really like the design of both this and the Superflash lights. But the lights are not durable enough.
