I have had the Blackburn Mars 4.0<\/a> for a year now and really like the light. I had the Mars 3.0 before that for many years and really like the amber side lights that give you some side visibility. I think that side visibility is an area most light makers ignore.<\/p>\n

It mounts on seatposts without tools.

It has a clip that will fit on any piece of webbing, jersey pocket, seat bag, etc… and it has a nice rubber gasket to keep the moisture out. That is something the Planet Bike Superflash does not have. Speaking of which it has a nice bright 1 watt LED like the superflash. <\/p>\n
