Product Description
3 White LED Headlight
Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're a 24-hour racer or a super commuter, the Planet Bike Beamer 3 bicycle light will keep your path well lit. The Beamer 3 is equipped with three white Nichia eXtreme v2.0 LEDs, which not only illuminate your way after the sun has gone down, but also make you visible to passing cars or pedestrians. 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 Beamer 3--which offers up to 100 hours of runtime on two AA batteries (included)--boasts both flashing and steady modes and carries 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.

 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.
