The features are great - internal reflector, two low power LEDs and one 'high' power LED which does a good job for the batteries used. The lighting modes are also welcome and battery lifetime seems good (several months with perhaps 1 hour use per week day).
The bad: Well, it's not properly sealed. Snow can creep into the base and short out the connections where the 'button' switch is. The light will then fail until opened up and dried out. It's embarrasing riding along and suddenly realizing the rear light has failed - fortunately I had a cheap backup which is less effective BUT waterproof.
I have two of these (one for each bike) and they both display this problem. I haven't tried them in the rain yet but would not be surprised if this also causes issues.Get more detail about Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash 1/2-Watt Blaze LED Plus 2 eXtreme LED Rear Bicycle Light.
