 New Version of Mars 3.0, Greatly Improved Jan 30, 2010
Given the changes that have been made the new version of the Mars 3.0 (a great tail-light with a few design issues), Blackburn must pay attention to customer feedback. Here are the new highlights:
1. No Screws - When battery changes are needed, you can use a coin to open the case.
2. Improved Mounting - The mounting brackets are easier to install, adjust, and are made of a better material. Mount includes locking clip.
3. Improved Internal Reflectors - Side by side, the new Mars 3.0 is brighter than its predicessor.
4. Better Batteries Included - Now Duracells are included.
5. Overall Improved Materials - Not a major difference, but the light and acessories seem to have a better feel.
6. Packaging - Much easier to open than previous versions packaging.
I have also had experience with the customer service department from Blackburn (that's how I got the new version of this light). They are not the quickest company I have dealt with, but their eventual response and concern with customer satisfaction was outstanding.
A good tail-light greatly improved. Make sure you get the new one!
 Great visibility - poor attachment Dec 26, 2009
This light will make you visible; however, the clip seems prone to failure. I've lost 3 of these due to the clip breaking (twice on the seatpost clamp, once on a rack mount). In the first instance, I was traveling over a rough patch of asphalt. In the other two instances I was on smooth chip seal. The plastic seems too rigid and after enough cycles of road vibration, it eventually just gives out.
Blackburn Mars 3.0 Flasher Rear Bicycle Light Nov 15, 2009
I frequently ride my bike when it is near dusk or just getting dark. The Blackburn Mars 3.0 has helped tremendously by assisting to warn drivers (I usually am on heavily traveled roads/highways) that there is a bicyclist ahead. The led lights are very bright and visible from quite a distance away. I also no longer fear riding my bike at night. Although I try to avoid being out when it is dark, if I have to be out there, I at least feel safer. I highly recommend this product to anyone who enjoys riding their bike and who lives in a highly populated area.
Excellent light, excellent customer service Sep 28, 2009
Good, bright, sturdy, and simple to use. Nice side lights, as well as main lights.
Had this taillight for two years, when the bracket broke. Emailed Blackburn, and they sent me a new seatpost bracket for free. Can't beat that!
Great light Sep 18, 2009
I am very satisified with this light. Great flashing. I ride during the day only, but, use this light anyway because I just don't trust that drivers will see me. I found the installation of the batteries a little difficult, but, not enough to lower the rating. You will need small "precision" or "hobby" screwdrivers to open the back. It is weather proof so expect that once you have the screws off that it will "stick" to the together and you may need to use your fingernails to pry the 2 sections apart. DO NOT USE THE SCREWDRIVER. I've only used it on 2 rides so far, but, it stays well clipped to my saddle bag. It comes with a seat post clamp, but I have a saddle bag on my seat so I'm not using it, but, it appears sturdy and easy to install.
