Review: Phaart Bleep Lights

[dimples]

Interesting set of lights, fancy creating a night time video showing how bright these are from a distance?

Radiator

Leaving it on a radiator at 20C for a few hours has fixed them, cheers fossyant

i have these on my bikes aswell, did buy 1 blaster aswell but didnt like the bracket(well it didnt like the cold)so snapped and fell off so brought another 2 of the bleepers, found that by putting a small smear of vaseline around the seal of the light keeps all water out so far and have had some pretty wet rides recently.

The water didn't get into my light through the seals, it got in through the rubber button because that isn't watertight. My light's completely wrecked and Planet X haven't responded two both of my emails!

You need mudguards !

I know, I know My Crud Roadracer Mk2 guards snapped and I've been putting off getting a new pair. I'm looking for something solid that fixes onto the frame that are preferably metal because I hated the way the Roadracers bounced about when you're riding along. Unfortunately due to ridiculous clearances on my bike, it's hard to find a pair that will fit! Any suggestions?

One question. How the bluddy hell do you open the lights to put batteries in? I have two Bleep lights, but can't get 'em open and don't want to break or crack them.

Someone else asked this, it takes quite a bit of force. Try prodding it open with a knife or a tyre iron and the back will pop off.

Got it! Thanks for that.

At least the light isn't going to come apart easily when riding, that's a plus. I'm also blinded, now. Great light for the price.

i've bought a few of these recently and am kitting out the family bikes and am impressed with how bright they are, but also agree with the flimsy mount comment. still, for 2 1/2 quid, you cant complain.

also bought the little wrap around ones which i like also.

I can confirm that one of my lights has died due to water damage and the other wouldn't turn off last night until I took the batteries out. The light would function as normal but the bottom LED was staying on permanently. Not impressed
