M-Wave Police Blue LED Taillight

Bright blue light but, from looking at the pic, I thought it was going to be a white light. Don't worry, you cannot see or read the word police when the bright blue light is on.

I am a Park Officer (Ranger) and my bicycle is my only mode of transportation. When shopping for lights I came across this and gave 2 a try since the reviews were so good. There are three separate blue LEDs in a straight row: Function: 1 button with 3 light settings: patterned strobe, all-on strobe (all three lights strobe together), and flashlight (all three are lit constantly). It is battery operated and attaches only via a clip. (My first of these lights was stolen off my bike, I'm using my second one). It only says "POLICE" on the front of it, which can't be scratched off without damaging the clear plastic casing in front of the light. Would be nice if they sold a blank one (or one with "Ranger"). Quality: It is just a plastic bike light, seems weatherproof so far. Expect to go through a few of them. The LED brightness isn't all that great unless the LED's are pointed directly at your eyes, then it's really bright. The area around the LEDs lights up dimly. It's barely noticeable on a bright sunny day in a crowded tourist, pedestrian, horse & carriage run street. I will keep using these until I find something better (brighter) and installs more permanently.

The POLICE nonsense made me think this must be a toy. It is not. This thing is really bright. A friend, following at a distance of a city block one night, described it as "very noticeable." I've only had it a week or so, but it seems to be solid enough. Not bulletproof, but definitely worth the money. Be sure to use new standard batteries, though: I noticed much worse performance with used batteries and also with a pair of rechargeables.

good product cost

My three year old son who loves it. I think it would be a great product for a kid and his/her buy.
