Brilliant!

Pros: very useful, bright

"All fitted to my rear stay in minutes, and with a combination of this and my new altura night vision jacket i definitely noticed a difference in the way cars drove around me. Instead of just giving a bit of room but staying in the left lane, cars where pulling out into the right hand lane.

Its bright and definitely has a wide angle of viewing so as to help with cars joining from the side roads. Other reviews mention about the water ingress into the switch end, i think its fine unless you are thinking of dunking it! They rubber seems to be tightly over the battery ends at either side, and the first use of it it did get a bit wet from spray and its fine

Don't hesitate, just get one!"

get yerself seen!!

Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Durable, Lightweight, Versatile

"used a few different light configs until I came across the fibre flare. It really is the ultimate rear light. Cars almost seem to go into the opposite lane, giving me ample clearance. This makes me very happy and safe whilst I cycle home many miles on unlit roads. Goes on and off the bike quickly and easily,extremely lightweight. Really want to get hold of a green/yellow one for the front of the bike. Just brilliant. Not owned or used long enough to comment on battery life. Happy"

great visablity, check the length

Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Lightweight

Cons: durable

"check the length of the flare as there are 2 lengths, one more compact and the one that i got which i have to bend slightly to fit under the seat and to the rear stay.

also learnt that its a good idea to have the on/off button on the top when its wet, as water can get in to the casing and ruin the metal ends.

otherwise, these are a great idea, but you might want to also pair it up with a rear light"

Get yourself a Fibre Flare!!

Pros: Adjustable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile

"I’ve done a fair few miles over the years on unlit country lanes and well lit city streets. Recent developments in lighting technologies have enabled cyclists to get hold of ever more powerful front lights which meet my see and be seen criteria. However, developments in rear lights seem to have lagged behind somewhat. Side visibility being a key attribute of any lighting system some designs to-date have not really gone out with an “all guns blazing” approach to addressing this need. Some rear lights do have banks of LEDs aimed specifically at addressing side visibility but these often fall short, both from viewing angle and brightness perspectives. These limitations, coupled with clumsy mounting systems sometimes make the task of mounting the light time consuming and restrictive in terms of the number of light placement options available.

Enter the Fibre Flare…

Having taken a look at the YouTube video demonstration of the Fibre Flare I was immediately sold and thought, “now is the time to try something a little different.” The Fibre Flare arrived from Wiggle in good time and was well packed. Supplied with batteries the light took well under a minute for me to install on my summer bike and will not detract at all from the sleek looks of your sleekest racing steed. The mounts are designed to allow quick and easy installation/removal.
Side visibility is the best I’ve seen bar none. Not only has the light made my riding experience safer, it has also illuminated (excuse the pun) my clubmates to a new disco era of bicycle lighting. On a recent visit to my club’s clubhouse my clubmates were also highly impressed, not only with plus points mentioned above, but also with the comedy value of having (I quote) an “80s strobe’esque disco lighting system” strapped to the rear of my bike.

Joking aside, the price of the product may seem a little much for what you’re getting. But, if you have a chance to see one of these in action you’ll be sold. If you are considering getting a new rear light to see them through the winter nights this has to be at the top of your shopping list."

Nifty light

Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Good Fit, Versatile

"If you want something else than the standard fare of rear lights, you might give this one a try.

A flexible and relatively long light that's visible from multiple angles. I've installed mine on the seating tube, with the other end onto the seatpost. Elastic straps keep the light in place, together with the black rubbery ends. You can put it on or take it off without any tools, and without leaving any brackets/holders on your bike. However, it takes a bit too much fiddling to do so. I also don't know if it has any longterm effect on the elastic straps.

Each end also functions as a battery compartment, each side holding an AAA battery. You have to stretch them out to put in the batteries. Because they are made of a rather soft kind of rubber, I'm guessing they might do a reasonable job of keeping the water out, as they seal quit neatly around the light. The power button is covered by the rubber, and is therefore waterproof, although a bit harder to locate and operate, when reaching for it while sitting on your bike.

The light, flashing or steady, is clearly visible, day and night, and depending from where you mount it, from multiple angles. Besides that, it's a rather elegant solution, combining form and function.

You can also attach it to a bag/jacket/body altough it does need something appropriate to attach it to. Haven't tried that."

Excellent light!

Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile

Cons: Limited Color Choices

"Just what to doctor ordered as the days get longer. I bought this and was blown away by the intensity of the flashing and also the wide field of vision. After some experimentation I've actually fixed it to the back of my helmet, so I can use it on my road bike as well as on my spare bike with the child-seat. Oh, and it's super-light too (scuse the pun) so I barely feel it on the back of my head. Everyone I've shown it to, cyclists and non-cyclists, are impressed.

Only tiny annoyance is that the 'on' switch is simply marked by a symbol and can't be identified by feel, but that really is seriously nitpicking! I love this and would happily recommend it to anyone.

Now I'd like one in white to fit to the front of my bike."

Awesome light.

Pros: Attractive, Great Value, High Quality, Versatile, awesome visibility

"This is quite simply the most original and versatile light I have ever used.
The clips are ideally spaced to fit between the top of your pocket and the hem of your cycle jersey. Alternatively clip it to your bag or use the silicon rubber slings to fix it to your bike (I have mine on the seat stay). The slings even have an extra tab to protect your frame.
Used fixed light or flashing it provides amazing visibility, and as an added bonus during the day it provides an interesting talking point as lots of people stop and ask what it is!"

Outstanding Light

Pros: Adjustable, High Quality, Versatile, bright, 360 degree visibility

Cons: Expensive

"Really like this light. It's a doddle to fit, and will fit to most things with the straps, which also means it can be removed/reinstalled really quickly.

What I like most about it is the 360 degree visibility. On my commute to work, one of my biggest fears is being side-swiped, and this thing gives motorists no excuse, particularly with it in flash mode...

Apparently they're also due to bring out some other colours, so will probably get a yellow one for the front of the bike when they're available.

The only negative is that the On/Off switch can be hard to find in the dark. I've found I always position the light with the switch at the same position (normally at the top) so I know where to find it in the dark.....

It may seem a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it....."

Very versitile

Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, visible from all directions

"I love this light. I use it as a secondary tail light hooked onto my backpack. My main tail light is super bright but only visible from one direction. This one is visible from any angle and can be easily clipped on just about anwhere. I would like to see the clips rotatable so I could hook it horizontally onto my jersey pockets. Apart from that, it's just about perfect. Light, bright and durable."

Pretty good so far - check what length!

"No need to echo the other good reviews.

I've got some silicone grease coming because I'm not convinced that water ingress won't be a problem. I'd sooner be greasy occasionally than have a dead unit.

Check whether you want this full sized one or the shorty."

Everyone should have one

"Totally absolutely awesome (even for a retro grouch like me).

Ultra visible light that makes every bike light up like a mobile fairground ride and creates an awesome glow throughout the deepest darkest nights.

Could only be improved by making it bendier (is that a word?) so it can be strapped to the bike in more places, and having a built in idiot detector to identify motorists trying to use the old "didn't see you mate" excuse.

Don't wait. Get one."

Fibre Flare Ultimate Safety Rear Tail Light (Singl

Pros: High Quality

"This fits across the bag on my rear rack and provides a really bright warning, flashing or steady.

Attachment straps work well for fitting to tubes.

It is quite long and people may want to consider the shorty version if space is tight. Next one I buy will be a shorty."

All round illumination

Pros: Attractive, Adjustable, Versatile

Cons: Expensive

"I have a couple of 1/2 watt single LED lights that are amazing but this is a different beast. There is no 'spot' but a glow that can be viewed from any angle. The effect is original and effective. I do several unlit 'B' road miles every night and this is strapped to my rucksack.
I get given a bit more room with it flashing. The flash mode is quite quick and I use that in preference to the constant - mainly to conserve battery. Hopefully it will withstand the weather. I have slapped a bit of silicon grease around the contacts under the caps to prevent corrosion and ingress."
