Dimensions: Length: 7" Width: 4" Height: 2" Product Description: The Princeton Tec® Swerve LED tail light utilizes 2 high-powered LEDs with a diffused lens on the top and a collimated focused lens on the bottom. The combination creates a bright, 180-degree pattern that alternates between a wider beam and a narrow beam. This creates a very high level of visibility. Where to Buy
Reviews Best Flashing Tail Light I have found  by: on: 15-Nov 2009 I use two "Tec Swerve" taillights, on my helmet on flash mode. They are attached to the helmet using adhesive hook and loop fastener. They are angled slightly off of center, so that one is slightly left angled, and one slightly right angled. So people in a wide area behind me can see the lights. I have seen others recommend this for use with the included seat post mounts. I use it on my helmet. I use a Cateye tl-1100 on flash mode on my rack, and a Foxfire light on solid (it is 6"x4" and provides a large, solidly lit, easy to track light, for motorists to track my position and speed once they notice me (that is what the flashing lights are for)). I also use 4 spoke lights, a Serfas stop light for a left running light, a cyclite jacket and a Magic Shine headlight. The main purpose of the Princeton Tec Swerve taillight is to get drivers attention by flashing brightly, and being mounted fairly high, well within a drivers sight lines. I really like that this light has a focused beam that is very visible in a narrow area directly behind (well with two, the area is larger), and a non-focused beam that will be visible over a much larger area. Drivers are not always directly behind you, so the combination seems effective to me. Hard to mount  by: on: 01-Nov 2009 Found it difficult to mount. First I tried mounting on the saddle post or saddle tube as intended. Two problems. First, the larger rubber band immediately broke when I tried to stretch it. Second, I don't want it there anyway; I have a wedge bag under the seat, so I would prefer to mount the light on the saddle itself. There is no provision for this. I finally succeeded in mounting it on one of the seatstays, but it's too low - not the ideal location. Now we'll try the light itself. Very Bright and Mounts asily  by: on: 15-Oct 2009 I ride to work in the dark quite often and this is the first taillight I've found that makes me feel confident the cars are seeing me with plenty of time to react. In a "field test", my husband said he could see the light 1/4 mile away. The taillight also mounts really easily. You can put it just about anywhere on your bike as it uses a rubber loop and button for the clasp (two loop sizes included so you can mount it on a large or small post). I have not had trouble with it falling off or moving. The switch is also easy to reach in case you need to switch the light on during your ride. Love it! The best bike safety light I could find! by: on: 14-Oct 2009 I first saw this light at REI for $30. I bought three of them on Amazon for 35% off REI's price. I'm really happy with the purchase. The lights are brighter than any other light I've used or looked at in the past. Apparently the light is water resistant - although I haven't tested it yet. The only difficult part about the lights is the instructions are a little confusing. Also, it would be better if they just had one universal O-Ring, so I don't have to hang on to the extra O-Ring I have, just in case (they give you two, one small, one big; to attach the light to your bike). Overall I'm very satisfied after 2 weeks, and hopefully nothing goes wrong. View All ReviewsView All Taillights |
