Blackburn Mars 3.0 has been named after a bright red planet visible from afar. It has seven superb right red LED's inside a sleek water resistant case. Lens optics increase visible distance and side LED's provide 180 degree safety-boosting visibility. Two AAA batteries should last for 50 - 150 hours on a flash mode.

I use in my lamp energizer rechargeable batteries. ... ...only, very small issue in Blackburn Mars 3.0 is when replacing batteries you need to unscrew 3 tiny screws.

It has three modes: slow flashing, fast one (almost like strobe) and viper style but up side down. My most favourite is fast flah.

In the beginning of my review I need to say: if you, member of your family or a best friend have a bicycle then strongly recommend this rear light as it is mentally bright. Does the job brilliantly and bicycle you will attach it to should be definitely safe.
I have got this light myself and am extremely pleased. It's been already over one year since I bought it from Chain Reaction Cycle website for £12 and have not had any accidents at night. Before that, it got used to happen as I leave in London where traffic is quite heave and you never now who is driving behind you.
Installation
There is a manual attached to this product and is very easy to read. Every single detail how to fit it is described. Attachment itself should not take you longer then 10 minutes. All you have to do is to unpack everything from box, stretch a clamp around your seat post, add rubber pieces which stop any movements and almost done. Next step is to screw all pieces in tidily and make sure that fitted straight and on the right angle. Do it with your lamp on it.

That information says producent and seems to be about right. I use in my lamp energizer rechargeable batteries. Some basic one you have included in the box. Whole thing is waterproof and strongly built. Since I attached it to my bike it has not sided/moved even when doing off road.

Altogether
Blackburn Mars is the greatest bicycle rear light I have ever had in my life. I like absolutely everything in it. It is nicely designed and you can rely on it. Light which gives is super bright and if anyone would knock you - he should get a ban from driving. Unless claimed that was dazzled by this light.
As I mentioned in the beginning - I can highly recommend and suggest Blackburn Mars 3.0 to every single person with bicycle in home. The price is not high. It is value for money.

...notable sets of lights.
Blackburn have recently upped the ante with a number of lights, and while at the front they have gone large and effective with the Quadrant, on the rear the Mars 3.0 (named after the red planet) proves just as effective at making sure other road users will see you.
There are seven LEDs packed into this small case, and powered by only two AAA batteries they manage to produce a remarkably intense light - following my girlfriend ... ...the light it is that bright.
The bracket for this unit is the standard type that wraps around the seatpost and 'ratchets' into place along a plastic belt (for some reason rear lights have not yet adopted the easy quick-release of front lights). The light unit itself slots into this easily, and the clip can also double as a clip to attach to your clothes.
The LEDs are arranged with five pointing backwards, and one each to either side (where they ...
