Portland Design Works Radbot 1000 1W LED Tail Light Reviews
| 128 of 129 people found the following review helpful  Super bright and priced right, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Portland Design Works Radbot 1000 1W LED Tail Light (Sports)  I'd heard about the Radbot 1000 tail light and decided to order one and use it for my upcoming century ride. It is a 1-watt LED with a large reflector below the light which gives additional visibility when approaching-from-behind car's headlights hit it. This one-two combo, a super bright flashing 1-watt LED and reflector gives it a significant edge compared to other bike lights. I also want to mention that the reflector acts as some sort of insurance that in the event your batteries die on you mid-ride in low or no daylight situations, you will still have some visibility as soon as approaching headlights hit the reflector. That is significant fail-safe mechanism in my opinion, at least in dusk to night situations. Powered by 2-AAA batteries, you can expect about 30 hours of operation according to Portland Design Works but if you use non-rechargable alkaline batteries you will likely see the light lasting up to 50 hours or more in zZz...

I normally ride with only one tail light. I bought this light 4 months ago and loved it. This is the brightest light that I've owned, definitely brighter than the superflash. The addition of the reflector is also a nice touch. One thing that I noticed though was that as the light is a 1W light it drains batteries noticeably faster than the .5 W lights that I've owned. That said I would still rate the light with 5 stars.Why then 3 stars? As a previous reviewer noted, this light has issues with going off mid ride. On three occasions I turned on the light and 2 miles later when I got home the light was out. As I don't always ride in bike lanes and I tend to ride on busy roads and some that aren't really really well lit that scared the crap out of me (luckily there is the reflector). Then two days ago I turned on the light and it blinked for 2 seconds and went off. I turned it...

It "pales" in comparison to my "gold-standard" DiNotte lights (4xAA powered) yet it offers significant presence and observability for day-time precaution and impressive brilliance for forewarning motorists, by night. Amongst the light sequence choices is an intriguing, attention-getting, modulated-intensity-Zap-Zap choice.The Radbot 1000 chews up batteries about twice as fast as the Viewpoint Flashpoint Ultra (another self-contained 2xAAA light) but here's the scoop for daytime safety and cycling enjoyment: USE BOTH! (There's room on your seatpost to mount both). Why two? (Radbot & Viewpoint). Because the different sequences (and pair of slightly-offset lights) really alert approaching motorists to your presence. By intent, the different lights are NOT synchronized, hence the motorist's daze is interrupted and attention gained,long before a dangerous encounter might... Read more |
