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.

Puts out great light! 
by .. S. Beal (Winter Park, FL USA)
I had a 5 LED headlight before, but when I was in a very dark setting, I found it difficult to see ahead. With this 1-Watt LED, there is a significant increase in the amount of light it puts out. I can now ride with confidence on the very dark portions of my ride knowing I can see the road well. Highly recommended for those who ride in dark settings and need enough light to see what is ahead on the road.
Incredible brightness for the price by .. J. Chin ()
This light performs incredibly. The cast distance and width is far for what your paying for. Everyone who rides at night needs to purchase this light. I can illuminate reflective signs from over a block down.
faulty switch in cold weather 
by .. K. Melin ()
I've had this for about six months now, and it is finally dead. About three months ago (when it started getting cold), the light would not turn off at the end of my ride - I had to open it and disengage the battery to turn it off. Then about a month ago, it would suddenly shut off mid ride home and refuse to turn on again - scary! Now it won't turn on at all - if I push the button hard the light will flicker, but as soon as I stop pushing it goes off.
I took this light off my bike whenever I parked it, but I do ride in the rain and snow occasionally; apparently this light can't handle that. I really expected more for $39.
Great by .. Andy_Pianist (Mexico City)
This light met my expectations. It's not the light you would use to make an expedition, but it's perfect for riding through the city.
Excellent bike lamp by .. Adrian W. F. Ashfield (near Philadelphia PA USA)
As good as they get, unless you step up to the >$100 range.
Smaller than expected.
No problem attaching it to the bike
Bright enough to see by, if you have young eyes like my daughter.
Not had it long enough to judge battery life
