The bracket does not tighten on the handle bar. I read the directions very carefully and adjusted the strap appropriately for my type of handle bar. But the bracket just does not lock tight and the light remains loose on the handle bar. It can be easily rotated and I’m sure Planet Bike 3044 Blaze 1-Watt LED Headlight would move if you hit bump. I returned it.

Planet Bike Blaze Headlight. I have only been using this light for about a month, but so far it is great. I live in a rural area(no streetlights)so it is pretty dark but the headlight puts out a good beam on the road ahead. The only problem with the light is the way it fastens to the handlebar. I could not get a tight fit and had to use the clip to my old headlamp Planet Bike Super Spot 1(lucky they are interchangeable) and was able to keep the headlight from moving when I am riding. Other than that, seems to be a good product. My other light lasted 2 years so I will see what I get from this light.

Great light!. I was hesitant to pay twice as much for this light as a basic front light, but it turns out to be well worth it. For various it is much more important to me to have a strong front light than a strong rear light. You can tell this is strong because it lights up stop signs blocks away. The attachment is the same Planet Bike uses on all its front lights, so if you have one laying around you can use it on your second bike and never have to fuss with taking it on and off, which I find convenient. And Planet Bike is a swell company that gives a portion of their profits to bike advocacy.
