Planet Bike’s Spring 2022 line of bike lights is small but comprehensive. With its three new designs, the company provides riders with a 70-lumen tail light, a 120-lumen flexible beam headlight, and a high-end 1500-lumen workhorse healight.

Let’s take a closer look at each model.

The brand says that the Dual Blaze is its brightest headlight design ever and recommends it for use on paths, roads, and singletrack.

True to its name, the Dual Blaze 1500 lumen bike headlight uses two distinct beams to achieve its huge output. A powerful lithium ion battery makes its incredible 45-hour-max runtime possible.

In terms of adjustability, the light features three static settings and Planet Bike’s Superflash strobe for daytime rides.

The Shiner 70 tail light is made with extremely high rear visibility in mind. Planet Bike gave the Shiner a linear profile that fits most seat posts, stays, or racks without sticking out.

Shiner tail light features and specs
  • 70-lumen broad-beam output
  • Up to 8 hours of runtime

I love my Planet Bike Headlights and other branded Tail lights, but riddle me this. Why do we have such short run times?

I had a 6 year old tail light that ran off 2 AAA batteries that would last over 2 months of daily riding (1-3 hr rides) It happened to be a Niterider brand, and was quite bright enough for day riding.
Unfortunately it failed last summer.

Now I’ve had 3 different Rechargeable lights that only last 3-4 rides tops. My stack of charge cables is a mess.
