Looks cool but main issues
1) Not very bright
2) Easily gets turned on by mistake when moving bike by the saddle
Regret buying it should have looked other options.

Weak light output and flimsy design. Light broke within a year. The plastic that snaps into place under the seat broke while riding. I wasn't impressed at all with the light output. Wouldn't recommend as the only source of light on the back.

I have a canondale EVO Hi-Mod, which is a fine piece of equipment, I like the fact that this light mounts under my seat and is not a distraction to the appearance of the beautiful bike I ride. Despite its small size and nearly hidden placement, the light puts out plenty of light to keep me safe for pre-sunrise training rides.

Just ok, not well made. I sent it back as I have a Fizik saddle bag that clips underneath seat where the light is intended to clip in. Sent it back!

the Fizik Blink gets good marks by mounting on the seat. No need to remove anything when putting th bike up on the stand for maintenance. Give good visibility.

Please, save your money, totally not worth it, Not enough light you can barely see it, turns off by itself, turns on by it self

I was looking for a light that mounted to my Fizik saddle and came across two, this one and a much brighter three LED system. This one is sufficient for riding in complete darkness or at least very dark conditions, but isn't effective during daylight hours.

I use this light for road biking during the day so cars can see me. It fits perfectly into the space in my saddle but isn't very bright and CR 2032 battery life is poor and expensive. Would be better if it were rechargeable and had brighter LEDs.

I Love my Fizik Alliante saddle, but every time I would roll my bike out our gravel driveway, my fingers would always find the plastic plug for the ICS receiver and it would fall out into my hand. Now the plug has been replaced with the Blink! Small enough to hardly be noticed by day, but as evening draws near, two pushes on the lens switch gets the LED array flashing. Great visibility, and always there in case I'm running later than expected. Perfect!

This thing looks awesome and attaches very effectively to my seat. However, do to some mild bumps here in New Orleans, it is no more. While riding one time recently, the thing just sort of fell into parts, leaving the clip sturdily in its place under the seat with some wired LEDs hanging. The battery and lower half of the housing bouncing merrily down the road. Yes, I picked up the battery and plastic jetsam to attempt a rebuild. Of course it didn't work. The whole thing is plastic. It has one, tiny plastic rivet holding it together.
In short, don't buy it.

Review by Mike
Great visibility easey to use. Not much weight to it.
Review by Jack
It seems like a great idea but in reality is not very usefull. It fits in the saddle well and is unobstructed from viewing. But the light is not bright enough to be noticeable at distance or speed.

Love this light for it's low profile and streamlined attachment to the saddle. Clips easily and quickly into the provided space in mere seconds and is just as easily removed. It doesn't compete with the saddle bag for real estate nor interfere with access or attachment of the bag. Provides an astonishingly bright light with its two LED's and has a good light spread to either side. As to be expected, the flashing mode provides more visual attention, yet the steady beam mode still provides good light and holds its own.
While perhaps not as bright as competitive products dedicated to serious nighttime riding, this light is the perfect choice for applications demanding light weight and small size without compromising safety in low light, or poor visibility situations. Early morning and late evening training rides, fog, and dark rainy days on a race bike? Great choice!
