I bought this taillight based on the reviews here on amazon, but I hesitated to provide a review because how am I really supposed to judge how well it works while I am on my bike?
Well today I was driving my car on a very heavily lit busy street, in very foggy conditions, and as I was driving I turned the corner and was immediately aware of a very prominent and frankly slightly annoying blinking red light. It was visible between tons of cars and street lamps, and I drove up closer to try and figure out what light it was and sure enough it was the same light I had purchased for my bike. This to me was plenty of proof that I would not be looked over when I was on my bike, as this light was almost more apparently than all the car ... Read More:
The knee pads were a bit big. They recommended it with the youth helmet, which I guess they are, however, we won't be able to use them until hopefully next year. Great deal and I like the gel inside.
I put these lights on my cyclocross bike, then rode around on some rough trails at dusk last night. It was my first ride in the dark, but wow, they totally lit up the way in front of me. There are plenty of adjustability options (although the rear light seems to be aimed low by default). I read about the rear light being fragile, although it only seemed that way if you exert a lot of pressure on it.
The catch is -- make sure the front light is really mounted and secure. I am guessing that I had a defective front mount because last night on that ride, the thing tumbled off, and into a culvert/pool of water. I checked the depth, but it was about 4-5 feet deep. Now passersby have a flashing creek until the battery runs out. At least we know its ... Read More:

these lights are good for the price! They are a little small (but concerning the price that doesn't matter), but VERY bright!
If you want bigger ones, buy more expensive ones, but this is a good deal!

I bought this light together with Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash 1/2-Watt Blaze LED Plus 2 eXtreme LED Rear Bicycle Light. The run time for 1/2-Watt light seems to last Longer, however this light has better visibility initially when the batteries have more juce.

I have both the one-watt Blaze and the 5-LED Beamer lights on my bike (note that I am comparing the one-watt Blaze, not the half-watt Blaze). I use the Blaze for constant-on illumination (to see) and the Beamer as a blinker (to be seen).
First of all, there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MOUNT (which is the same for both lights). Please ignore other reviews to the contrary, which were posted by people who are apparently unable to read an instruction sheet.
The mounting strap is ADJUSTABLE. It will accommodate very small handlebars, as well as massively oversized handlebars. If you turn the mounting bracket over and examine the underside, you will see that the mounting strap has ratchet-teeth. There is a keep directly beneath the ... Read More:

The light itself is great! Approximately 2x1x1", sturdy, relatively water resistant, and doesn't seem to be prone to damage. The 'button' is well designed covered by the plastic case (press lightly on the case, which will then press the hidden button). As for the light, works very well, grabs attention during day and night! Focused to point in a straight cone, but has light to the sides and top/bottom (overall visible from side and back; best for cars coming from behind). Blink pattern is 'blink blink blink BLINK BLINK' (very fast blinks, from the 2 small LED's and then twice from the larger LED). Also has steady ON mode.
Only bad thing is the attachment mechanism. It's plasticky, average construction (doesn't seem like it will break though), ... Read More:

This is definitely made for letting others know you are there not for riding dark trails at night, but, it does that very well and at a great price. Front and back are plenty bright enough for getting attention. Both mounted easily. My only tiny complaint is that they don't default to the same mode one to flashing and the other to solid.
