This light makes me feel safe. It is super bright and has a distinctive blinking pattern. Easy to adjust for maximum visibility.
Princeton Tec Swerve LED Light
Product has been discontinued, for replacement option see: Planet Bike Superflash USB-Rechargeable Tail Light
A combination of a diffused lens (on top) and a collimated focused lens (on bottom) creates a very bright 180-degree beam pattern than alternates between a wider beam and a narrow beam. Since the eye must juggle these two beams, it doesn't get a chance to relax, resulting in a very high level of visibility. The toggle switch makes it easy to turn on and off even with gloves on. Handle bar, seat post, seat stay and fork mounts are included, and the built-in clip allows for attachment to your helmet, pack or messenger bag. Rear light.

I have owned USB rechargeable taillights in the past and love the safety they have offered but my most recent one has had neverending charging and operating issues. I have opted for the Swerve LED light and am impressed with it's brightness. So far I have about 40 hours use on the batteries and still working well.If the batteries do last as advertised then this light will prove to be both excellent for safety as well as cost-effective compared to the USB ones - and most likely much more reliable
Too bright to stare at

I purchased a USB charged flashing taillight, but the battery was so small that it required frequent recharging. I wanted a bright reliable light with lots of battery life. I opted for the Princeton Tec because I had one already and wanted to standardize my lighting system using rechargeable AAA batteries that will carry me though days of cycle touring and be readily rechargeable with 110 charger for four batteries. Prying the body halves apart is a challenge; a small flange on the two halves would be helpful.
The best rear light I've owned!

Super bright and long lasting battery. Just put it through the washing machine in the pocket of my jacket and it still works flawlessly, so I guess it's really waterproof!
Great Visibility

I have it attached to my seat on a homemade bracket so as to be visible above a rack bag I usually carry. It has the best visibility of any taillight I have seen, especially in fog and rain and is easy to switch on and off while riding along. Battery life is excellent. If there is anything negative to say it is that is is too easy for it to come apart and fall to the ground if bumped, but it has never come apart due to rough riding. I would prefer it to be held together with a screw rather than plastic snap latches. This is the second one of these lights I have purchased.
