Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're a 24-hour racer or a super commuter, the Super Spot bike light from Planet Bike gives you the power to light up the night. Planet Bike's brightest LED headlight, the Super Spot is equipped with a 1-watt LED bulb that helps you see clearly at night while alerting drivers, other cyclists, and pedestrians to your presence. The weather-resistant construction, meanwhile, lets you ride in wet conditions without fearing any problems. And unlike many bike lights, the Super Spot's battery carriage works as efficiently with rechargeables as with traditional AA batteries. The Super Spot, which comes with QuickCam bracket mounts that let you adjust or remove the light without tools, runs for up to 30 hours on four AA batteries (included). It's also backed by 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.

Customer Reviews

Best light for the price
I've used these lights for commuting for several years now. I did have a fancy nite-rider halogen before this one, and the Super Spot lasts much longer on a set of batteries, is lighter, and more reliable. It attaches well to the handle bar, and the light is easy to remove when needed. I did have the light come off once on a VERY deeply pot-holed road and it burst into a bunch of separate pieces. I stopped, gathered up all the pieces, snapped them back together and the damn thing worked fine again. I've taken to using 4 NiMH rechargeables instead of alkalines and it works fine. While it doesn't claim to be water proof, nor does it look water proof, it has seen many a rain storm and continues to work fine. With the batteries charged, I've found the light to be sufficient for tooting along on unlight roads at 15 MPH or so. I wouldn't want to go charging downhill on an unfamiliar road with it, for that you'll need to apply the Seoul Semiconductor mods given above.

Nothing special, can't recommend it
The light is bright, but the beam has an odd pattern of vertical stripes that makes it hard to see anything. The bracket is too small for the handle bars on my road bike (about 32mm).

Great light for the price
I bought this light for my kid's bike. It was easy to install and provides great visibility to car drivers even on well lit residential streets. If the street is not well lit, the light is barely adequate for riding at night, but it will get the kid home.

The only negative is the switch. The switch is very difficult to operate. You have to get a firm grip on the light and press hard with the finger nail to switch it on. my kid has less difficulty with this than I do since his fingers are smaller.

Over all it is a great value!
